Recently I've upgraded my 6.0.1 SME Server to 7.1.0. I changed the password complexity for users to normal (see http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34609.0 on how I did this).
Everything worked fine until, I guess, I upgraded to 7.1.1 and later 7.1.2. If I create a new user (or reset the password of an existing user) the server manager gives an error saying the password isn't strong enough:
The password you provided was not a good password. A good password must contain all of the following: upper case letter, lower case letter, number, non-alphanumeric character, be at least 7 characters long.
I used a password consisting of three random letters and three random digits (e.g. zdt428).
The setting in the passwordstrength key is set to normal as shown in the excerpt from my settings:
passwordstrength=configuration
Admin=none
Ibays=none
User=none
Users=normal
I even executed the command a second time to set the password strength to normal, but it still won't accept the password. I changed the password to e.g. Zdt_248 and then it was accepted.
Why do I get this error message nonetheless? Does it has anything to do with the upgrade?

Hi frankvb,
I had a simular problem but it was even before I upgraded to 7.1 and in order to accept any password I had to set it to:Users=none
I made the mistake of thinking that none meant exactly that :D I thought I would not need any passwords but I beleive that it only means no security check of the password :wink: I maybe wrong , if so I apologize and I am sure someone will correct me :D
Regards,
Del

I never noticed a difference when i set my strenght to strong or normal so i guess that it's only for internal use (how the server deals with the password). Requirements for password stays the same (small caps, capital letters, symbols and numbers).
