The sequence rule rejects passwords that contain more repeated characters than it is allowed.

Repeated characters can appear in succession or in different positions in a password. This policy also includes characters typed in direct or inverse numerical or alphabetical order.

Case sensitive

Select this check box to require case sensitivity for this rule.

User Properties Rule

The user properties rule rejects passwords that contain part of a user account property value.

This rule splits the user account property value by non-alphanumeric characters (for example, “_”), and then checks if any part of the value is available in the password. For example, if user’s name is “Peter_US”, Password Manager splits the property into: “Peter” and “US”, and checks if any part can be found in the password. For example, the password “US_US” will be rejected.

To configure the user properties rule

  1. Follow the steps outlined in Configuring Password Policy Rules.
  2. On the Policy Rules tab, click User Properties Rule to expand the rule settings.
  3. Under User Properties Rule, select the Prevent users from using account properties as part of passwords check box, and then specify the following options:
Table 23: User properties rule

Option

Description

Beginning characters of a user property value

Set the maximum number of beginning characters from a user property value that users are allowed to use as part of their passwords.

For example, if a user's full name is “Anna Fairweather”, and the option value is set to 3, then the user is allowed to type the strings “Ann” and “Fai” as part of her password. The password will be rejected if it contains “Anna” or “Fair”.

You can select from the following user account properties:

  • displayNamePrintable
  • mailNickname
  • userPrincipalName
  • displayName
  • title
  • sn
  • samAccountName
  • personalTitle
  • middleName
