    Hi,

    I am working on a scenario where I would need to check if the password policy is enabled/disabled and based on the value retrieved on the server side I need to perform my validation on the client side. Using directory services I am able to get the values for PasswordAge, Password length and password history but am not able to retrieve password complexity.If someone has done this already kindly let me know how to do it.


    Regards,
    Senthil

    Hi Senthil - Wondering if you had any luck with this?  and if you had any pointers to how to access PasswordAge, length and history values?

    thanks
