Q: OS X Server 5.1 Password Policy

Hi,

 

I have os x serve 5.1 and have created a couple of users. When i change a password on an account and set it to change at next login, on the client mac (OS X version 10.8.5) it comes up with the password box and i type in my desired password and it says that the password does not meet the requirements of the server.

 

I would like to know how to change and/or fix this problem

 

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), Client Macbook - OS X 10.8.5

    Stumbled across this post. If you have not figured this out, here are the steps:

    1. In Server.app, select Users
    2. In the drop down above the user names, make sure Local Network Users is selected.
    3. Clicking the wheel below the names, and you'll see Edit Password Policy. Click it.

    You'll now be able to review and set the password policy the way you wish.
