Security: How can I determine which DMA in the cluster is rejecting the password change?

I am trying to change the  password of my local user as prompted at login in Cube, unfortunately, the password change fails due to minimum requirements not being met. It is a strong password and it works in Windows on the DMA server I am connected to. I am suspecting that perhaps the error is received from one of the 8 agents in the cluster. How can I determine which agent(s) are rejecting the password change due to minimum requirements not having being met? A follow in the SLNet ClientTest tool yields no results.

Hi Christine,

If you enable the 'Audit account management' policy on the server, you will be able to see any attempt of changing the password of a user in the Windows Event Viewer.

In case of a failure you will get an 'Audit Failure' entry for event with id 4723 'An attempt was made to change an account's password'.

If it did work, you will get an 'Audit success' entry.
