Hi all,
I have installed the Samba 4, i execute the "domain provision" command, and
also have disabled the password complexity and decreases the minimum
password length to 3, then I joined a Windows Server 2008 as a DC for the
domain samba. After a few minutes the password complexity and minimum
values are reset to default. Anyone know why?
Very interesting!
My guess is that the Windows DC examined the group policy objects for
the domain (perhaps some it provided itself) and found that the password
policy was set.
Samba doesn't know about group policy as a DC, so can't use that as the
authoritative source, but it reads the setting in the directory that
Windows would update.
Very likely,
By default you have 2 GPO created, one that concerns everybody and one
that concerns DCs. I advise you to edit the second one from Windows 2008
and set the complexity as you expect it to be then it should be
replicated on the Samba DC as well soon.
