samba - Jun 2014 - Simple: change user passwort and password policy

Hi,

I seting up a samba4 server for testing. With the Remote Server Administration
Tools I could manage to create users and policys.

When I try to change a password for my testusers, I get an emergency about the
password policy. But in the domain group policy it isn't set?

I change the unset policy to deactivate but nothing changed.

Bye

Gregor

Currently the password policy setting through GPO is not supported 
(there are some patches that went through the mailing list and should 
fix this in a later release I think).

For the time being, you have to change the policy domain wide with the 
samba-tool commande line :

    sudo samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --complexity=off
    sudo samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --history-length=x
    sudo samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --min-pwd-age=x
    sudo samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --max-pwd-age=x

Cheers,

Denis
