"Set Maximum Password Attempts" set, but users can change?
As subject really.
On our BES Express I have the following set: Device Only User Can Disable Password No User Can Disable Password No User Can Change Timeout No Password Required Yes Password Suppress Password Echo No Set Maximum Password Attempts 10 Set Password Timeout 30 On my Blackberry if I go to Options/Password I can't disable the password, and I can't change the timeout (they both show a padlock), but I can change the number of password attempts. I expected it to be grayed out and padlocked - am I missing something? Thanks in advance. |

Can you set it at more than 10?

Heh.. no and when you put it like that I guess it's not an issue if they can only make it more restrictive.
I guess I'm used to Windows Group Policy where if you set something to "10" that's that, it's just "10". |

It's actually a good way of doing things IMO if you give the user the choice to make it more restrictive but not less than you'd settle for. |

You can also allow them to set the timeout to less than the maximum as well. I forced everyone down to 30 minutes and then quietly raised the limit to 1 hour. Those that complained the most, I told them how to adjust it ;)
