Customizing PPC Messages

The Password Policy Client displays three messages to help users choose their password:

The Password Policy message is displayed before a user changes their password. This message explains the password policy to the user.
The Rejection Reason message is displayed if a password does not comply with the PPE password policy. This message tells the user why their password was rejected.
The Generic Rejection message is displayed if a password complies with the PPE policy, but is rejected because it does not comply with one of the Windows password policy rules.

PPC Message Components

PPC messages are built using templates, macros, and inserts. The image below shows a sample policy message with the template in blue, a macro in red, and policy inserts in green.
