Maybe its the local system having requirements and not IPA? In my secure logs I see pam is quering first locally and then the sss daemon....maybe its failing you on the default rh setup of the OS?

I must admit, I do not understand the password requirements. I have had them set to the defaults. I read this: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/user-pwdpolicy.html I have the minimum character classes set to 0. When people use SSH to change their passwords, they get "Based on a dictionary word" for passwords that have nothing to do with dictionary words. I can't find anywhere in the documentation a break down of what makes an unacceptable versus acceptable password. Can anyone help me figure out what to tell my users? I think people would get a lot less frustrated if they knew why "C679V375" was "too simple" when the password policy has 0 required classes.
