If OPF is the only password filter in play, the reason for rejection will be logged in the application log.
All I am seeing is EventID 100, WSACancelBlockingCall and Unable to bind to open port.
AD will let me set passwords that fall inside of MS complexity policy, but it is not enabled in group policy.
Any ideas? It seems like it is working, but I do not want users subjected to the complexity requirements. I'm only trying to limit repeating characters in passwords.
The errors you cite suggest that it's not in fact working, and that's troubling. Can I get a little more detail? What WinServer version are you installing this on?
You must have complexity enabled somehow if that's what you're experiencing, because it appears based on your error messages that the service is not starting, and if the dll can't reach the service it fails 'open', meaning anything is allowed. I would like to understand why the service is not starting though.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, Robert.
I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers.
It's very odd. I have verified that password complexity is not enabled on my domain. Basically, I can change an AD password to whatever I want, but as soon as I start the OPF service (it is starting, and stays running), it requires me to use MS complexity requirements.

I am basically trying to create a password policy for my company with the only requirements being that it needs to be 15 characters and no more than 4 repeating characters such as 11111 in a password.
I do not have password complexity enabled in my domain, but when I install OPF, AD won't let me create any passwords unless it meets the standard MS complexity requirements, ie capital letter and special character etc.
