If you have multiple Password Manager instances installed, when upgrading them, you may experience the following issue: the Realm Instances page of the Administration Site displays an incorrect list of installed instances. After you upgrade all instances, the page will display the correct list.
By default, an AD LDS instance applies existing local or domain password policies. If a server on which AD LDS is installed belongs to a workgroup, the server’s local password policy settings and account lockout settings are enforced. If the server on which AD LDS is running belongs to a domain, the password policy settings and account lockout settings from the domain are enforced.
You can use Password Manager to create additional password policies that define which passwords to reject or accept. For each policy, you can configure a number rules, for example, a password age rule, complexity and length rules, custom rule, and others. It is recommended to use the custom rule to display the settings of the local or domain password policy applied to the server on which AD LDS is running. For more information, see Custom Rule.
Password policy settings are stored in Group Policy objects (GPOs). A GPO is applied to a target Organizational Unit. Group Policy objects from parent containers are inherited by default. When multiple Group Policy objects are applied, the policy settings are aggregated. For information on how to apply a password policy and change the policy priority, see Managing Password Policy Scope.
