*shudder* Don't forget however that if you go down this path, make sure you
A) Don't call Microsoft - they will laugh at you, charge your credit card, then hang up B) have a rollback plan to the standard GINA C) remember that the gina will most likely be replaced during a service pack (and sometimes) during hotfixes, so you may have to rehack and re-roll your changes again D) other vendors may replace / extend the gina (like smartcard / biometric addons) which may not like you hacking the GINA (or put their own one in which may negate your changes) Apart from that, have fun G. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blair, James Sent: Friday, 3 December 2004 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Custom Password Filter DLL http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Santhosh Sivarajan Sent: Fri 3/12/2004 11:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Custom Password Filter DLL Rhacker??

I modified the DLL and implemented it. Password filter is working according our requirements but my problem is, it is still displaying the default password complexity message (7 char, 24 history..etc etc). Is there anyway I can modify the display message without modifying the GINA? I found GINA source code on MSDN but it looks so complicated to me. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks in advance!
