With most organizations today using Microsoft's Active Directory Domain Services as their on-premises identity and access management authentication solution, it creates challenges for admins looking to bolster their password security.
As an example, regex can help identify and filter the following passphrase elements in your Active Directory environment and can be used with custom requirements to define passphrases used in the environment.
As we know, Active Directory is limited in the tools and capabilities natively provided to prevent users from using dangerous password elements.
