Temporary Passwords do not Adhere to Password Policy Restrictions (54519)

When the Forgotten Password feature was used, the Policy Server created random temporary passwords that did not adhere to the password policy restrictions. This is no longer an issue, and temporary passwords now adhere to the password restrictions specified by the password policy. Supported restrictions include:

• minimum length
• maximum length
• minimum upper case characters
• minimum lower case characters
• minimum digits

In the event that password policies are not applied to the user directory, the temporary password is:

• six to twelve characters long
• of capitals letters, lower case letters, and digits
