There is a 7-bit password checking plugin - this plugin rejects
passwords that contain characters that use more than 7-bits (i.e. plain
old ASCII). It used to be that older authentication systems/operating
systems would barf on 8-bit passwords, but I don''t think that is the
case any longer. You can disable the the 7-bit plugin to allow 8-bit
passwords.> Have tried searching but don''t see anything documented on the
password policy or syntax pages.
