I am using SSP against a Samba4 domain.

I have set up the following password requirements in Samba4 (using
samba-tool)

Password complexity: off
Store plaintext passwords: off
Password history length: 24
Minimum password length: 12
Minimum password age (days): 30
Maximum password age (days): 210
Account lockout duration (mins): 30
Account lockout threshold (attempts): 10
Reset account lockout after (mins): 30

in SSP I have set up the following password requirements

Minimum length: 12
Minimum number of different classes of characters (IE: upper, lower,
numeric, special): 3
Forbidden characters: @%$
Your new password may not be the same as your old password
Your new password may not be the same as your login

I set the minimum password age to 30 days in the hopes that it would
prevent someone from flip flopping passwords.
IE changing their password twice in a row to get around actually having to
use a new password ever.
Like this
old password = 'My super great password!"
new password = 'My new super great password!'

old password = 'My new super great password!'
new password = 'My super great password!'

Unfortunately I was able to flip flop passwords without issue, even though
I have the Min password age set to 30 in Samba4.

I am debating building a bit into the PHP of SSP which will document when a
user changes their password, and then not allow them to change it again
thru SSP until at least 30 days have passed.
If there is a better/easier/builtin way, I'd love to hear about it!

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!
