Replying to [ticket:1621 ohamada]:

Problem seems to be related to the length of Directory Manager(DM) password. For DM's password length >= 2 didn't appear again.

In that case, re-qualifying as minor priority.

Are there any additional requirements towards the password complexity other than 8 letters minimum length?

I don't believe so. If we add code to enforce better complexity we're sure to get an RFE asking for that to be configurable. And then for that configuration to be the default in IPA. Certainly doable but I think it would be a separate ticket.

Filed RFE ticket 1683 for additional complexity.
