After much battling I stand on the cusp of having Citrix Password Manager
4.6 SP1 working in my XenApp environment......so close I can almost smell
it. I've warred through problems with SSL certificates, moving from 64 to
32-bit, failures to contact the service, countless installations and
reinstallations of both the service and the plugin - yet I am still plagued
by one last issue.

I have the service running on a Windows 2003 server and configured with the
basic options, using an Active Directory store. I have the plugin installed
on a Windows 2008 x64 server alongside XenApp itself. When I log on to the
XenApp server, I can register my security questions just fine. From the
Account Self-Service link, I can use the security questions to unlock my AD
user account with no issue. However - every time I try to use the Account
Self-Service link to reset my password, I provide the answers to the
questions, yet when I try to reset the password I get this error....

*The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the
minimum length, password complexity and password history requirements.

*Now I know that there are password policies - both "default" and "domain" -
defined inside Citrix Password Manager and I have not modified these at all.
I am also not sure how they interact with the Default Domain Policy defined
in AD, but I know one thing - the password I am trying to reset it to
matches the requirements of the policies defined in Citrix Password Manager
and in Active Directory itself. The really annoying thing is, even when it
fails to reset the password with this error, it obviously changes the
password in some way, because after this failure I can't log on again with
the old password.

The Citrix Self-Service Features account I have chosen is a Domain Admin, so
I don't anticipate a privileges issue. I can unlock accounts, so why can't I
reset passwords? I am on the verge of tearing my hair out here, as I have
been trying on and off for weeks to get this damned bit of software working.
Any help at all would be most gratefully
received.........pleeeaassseeeee.....


TIA,



JRR
