Simple question I hope.
We are testing NW 6.5 SP1 and Universal Password in our lab in hopes of finding an answer to our NMAS Enhanced Password nightmares.  Can a password policy be put in effect for the Universal password and what admin tool do I use to set this policy?  I want to enforce password lengths, special characters, etc.
 
Thanks for your time and help.

Currently UP does not have all the strong password features of the NMAS enhanced password.

Corey,

Unfortunately UP doens't have all the bells-and-whistles one would like. An alternative may be http://www.connectotel.com/ppm ...

Peter,
Thanks for the help, do you know what Novell's plans are in this area?  I assume the idea is to give UP the bells and whistles and phase out all other password methods?

There has been speculation about that,,,,look at NSure identity manager 2 and they password management there for a peek.

Corey,

As Jeff said, DirXML 2, aka Nsure Identity Manager 2, seems to be heading that direction ... but I don't think the various Product Managers at Novell have it all in the same gear yet ..
