Under OS X Lion, pwpolicy does not allow us to force mixed case passwords (tested) and limits password history to 15 (from man page). I haven't looked at Mt. Lion but I assume that has not changed.
Anyway around that besides using an Open Directory or Active Directory server?
I assume that connecting all machines to an Open Directory server would overcome that limitation, but what happens when you have laptops on travel or machines that disconnect from the network with the Open Directory server?
How hard is it to connect OS X Lion to an Active Directory server to force password complexity rules on local accounts.
I'm not an Active Directory expert and I'm not the person who would make the changes.
Michael
