Password Complexity Manager (PCM)

Password Complexity Manager (PCM) is a Tools4ever solution used to manage the complexity requirements of the Active Directory password. Because the standard password complexity rules in the Windows domain are limited, PCM offers extra abilities to regulate the complexity of passwords.

In comparison to the standard complexity rules within the Windows domain, PCM offers three extra features. First, PCM provides the option to set the password complexity at the OU level in the AD domain, where you can make a distinction between various end-users and the degree of password complexity they must utilize. Second, PCM offers all conceivable combinations to establish the Password Policy; so it’s possible, for example, to provide a list of words which may not be used, or to require that the password complies with a regular expression. Finally, PCM provides end-users with information about what rules have been complied with during password resetting. This prevents the end-user receiving a long and unclear error message. Users are immediately assured that the new password complies with all the rules.
