I don't think 1.7.1 is fully capable of reading the AD password policy. It may also depend on permissions. You may try with a nightly build. If the nightly doesn't work either, check permissions in AD.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply. As far as permissions are concerned my LDAP Proxy User in PWM->Settings->LDAP Directory is configured with CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=DS,DC=ABC,DC=IN. Here Administrator is having full access on DC=DS,DC=ABC,DC=IN domain. If this account is reading the password policy from AD then there should not be any issue but if some other account is reading the password policy(which i don't think i have configured) then kindly let me know. Kindly tell me the stable nightly build number as i will deploy it in the production environment.

Thanks
Ashwani

A nightly build is per definition not considered stable. I suggest that you setup a test environment.

Thank you sir. I assume that LDAP proxy user is the user who reads the password policy from AD and i am thus using the right account to read the password policy.

Thanks
