Passwords may not contain the user's samAccountName (Account Name) value or entire displayName (Full Name value). Both checks are not case-sensitive.
The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is fewer than three characters long, this check is skipped. The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is fewer than three characters long, this check is skipped.
The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens) are confirmed not to be included in the password. Tokens that are shorter than three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin", "M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "havens" as a substring anywhere in the password.
