You can use this rule to create your own password policy message to be displayed on the Self-Service site when users change or reset their passwords. For example, use this rule to enter the settings of the local or domain password policy applied to the server on which AD LDS is running.
If you want to hide all other policy messages and display your custom message to users, enable this policy rule, enter the message text, and select the Hide messages from other policy rules and display only this message check box. If you do not select this check box, messages from all enabled policy rules will be displayed.
Note, that this rule does not check the password compliance with the configured password policy. Configure this rule to display your custom message instead of or together with other policy messages when users change or reset passwords on the Self-Service site.
To configure the custom rule
-
Follow the steps outlined in Configuring Password Policy Rules.
-
On the Policy Rules tab, click Custom Rule to expand the rule settings.
-
Under Custom Rule, select the Enable check box to enable this rule.
-
Select the Hide messages from other policy rules and display only this message check box if you want users to see only the custom password rule message and hide all other password policy messages.
-
In the text box, enter the rule message in the default language (English). To enter the message in other languages, click the Add new language link, select the language, specify the message and click OK.
NOTE: Only languages of the user interface of the Self-Service site are available in the list
