Re: Antw: overlay ppolicy - atribute pwdhistory
by DÍEZ BARREIRO, ANA BELÉN
I know that, but I want to have it like this: that the same password can
not be introduced.
If I put pwdinhistory = 1 it also does not allow putting the previous
one (not just the current one). And that should be possible.
Regards,
Ana.
