Dictionary Rule Not Working

wwalker
over 7 years ago

I have installed Password Policy Manager on all DCs and I need to test against words we have added to the Dictionary file.  I have added the words to all DCs txt files and I am still able to use the words I have added to the files.  We are only using the Dictionary Rule and I have Checked "Enable dictionary lookup to reject passwords that contain: A complete word from the dictionary".  But like I said its not working, I have a test account I am using and it part of the correct groups I have setup on the PP server. 

 

What else do I need to do?  I have checked the encoding with Notepad ++ and the are set to USC-2 LE BOM and I am lost.  I am not sure if it should be this hard, maybe I am wrong.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Wade

    Hi Wade,

    If you have PPM installed on each of the DC's and you have the dictionary file copied across then you are configured correctly as long as the Password Policy is scoped, configured and enabled on the Password Manager server.

    If you ignore the dictionary rule and configure the password policy with some other rule which is different to those applied by the AD password policy, is it enforced by password Manager when you try to change password?

    If yes then Password Policy Manager is installed and configured correctly and your issue is narrowed down to the dictionary file.
    If no the then PPM is not configured correctly.

    Either way the support engineer who picks up your case will work with you until the issue is resolved.

    Regards,

    Jim
