We use a script that changes passwords via LDAP because we also set passwords on a couple of other systems to match. We recently modified our password policy to be more restrictive including unique password.
The other password policy rules seem to be in effect in that the LDAP modify fails when the new password violates policy EXCEPT for the unique password part of the policy. It seems to allow changing passwords back to previous ones.
I saw a TID that mentioned this as a bug in some release of eDir 8.7 but mentioned it was fixed in the next SP so sillly me I would assume it was fixed in 8.8.2 or 8.8.4 (the versions we are running).
Should this be working? The TID mentioned that prior to the fix, the LDAP script should delete/add the password instead of replacing it. We'd like to figure out if this is the solution vs something else before attempting to fix our script.
