Can I Set Advanced Password Options in the LabVIEW DSC Module?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>DSC Module
Primary Software Version: 8.6.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am setting up user accounts in the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module, and I would like to set some advanced password settings such as length requirements, complexity requirements, and password expiration. Is this possible?

Solution:
Currently, the only password requirements that are settable by the LabVIEW DSC module are password minimum and maximum length.  In addition, an administrator can also set passwords to expire after a certain number of days.  These settings are found in the Domain Properties in the Domain Account Manager.  You can open this by going to Tools»Security»Domain Account Manager. You will need administrator rights in order to access the properties, so log in if you have not already.  Once there, right-click on the domain you wish to modify and select Properties and go to the Passwords tab, as shown below.



If you would like to add additional password requirements, such as requiring numeric characters in the password, this will have to be done programmatically in the block diagram of your application with string parse commands.
