samba - Sep 2014 - can't turn off password complexity requirements

Hello,

     I'm unsing Ubuntu 14.4 Server and samba 4.1.6-Ubuntu. Everything 
works great but I somehow fail to switch off the password complexity 
requirements. It is not unlikely that this is because I'm very 
unexperienced with Windows. I've heard that the password-settings are 
always a bit tricky and I did exactly what the windows-tutorials say. 
I've tried gpresult for several users and it always says, that it's ok.

     Are there any known problems with this setting?
     Is there a linux-way to check gpo-settings?
     Is there a step by step tutorial that is known to work with samba4?

Thanks in advance, bbb

Hi, try running this, on the Samba4 AD DC:

samba-tool domain passwordsettings --help

this will display all the password options.

/usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --complexity=off

further info:
/usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain passwordsettings set -h

cheers.

well i solved:
samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --complexity=off
samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --history-length=0
samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --min-pwd-age=0
samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --max-pwd-age=0

is a not safe way...i only activate for testing mode....user change his 
password any time wherever text.
