Security - Change Password On Next Log-In

["... you mean these fans?"]

When I opt into having the user change their password on next log-in through the security pane, FM allows an empty value - basically the user enters nothing and just clicks OK.

As I watch the script ... there is no error?

I see the value of not using or having an Account Name and or Password but ...

I can not allow a user on this file to just click through the FM's message box when prompted to change their password.  

I'm I missing something here ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Did you set a minimum password length in the privilege set options?

I just saw that ... my mistake.  Sorry about that!

Thank you.

Thank you the link didn't really help mi with the issues.

So basically I selected the check box and set the character to 5 ( my default password is 4 )

I wanted to see if both the empty value and the default password would throw an error or not be allowed by FM.

Nothing worked, the default passwords if I used ( 1234 ) or the password field was left empty the password is set regardless.

Now that check box that says "Requires password change on next sign-in" was checked but when I sign-in it must uncheck itself ?

I've attached the security pane.  Any suggestions I would be grateful.

Thank you.

I am not able to reproduce the behavior you report. If I log in as a new user and attempt to change my password to a string shorter than 5 characters, I get this:

Do you have it stored in your keychain?  When I've stored my password to an FM file in keychain then it doesn't matter WHAT I enter in the password, it just accepts it and let's me log in or I can just hit [enter] when the password dialog is presented.

If it's stored in keychain, delete it from keychain and try again.  Maybe that's your issue; it's worth a try!

Thank you ... nothing seems to be working? I don't use key chains.  I'll keep trying to see what is causing FM to step through the undesirable conditions.

Thanks.
