I have a client testing PPE and has noticed an issue testing their policy and it not picking up the dictionary being used,

I have also tested this in my environment and can replicate the same result.

In the screenshot below, using the default dictionary that comes with the platform, a testing a user against the policy you can see the word was identified and rejected.

However, when using a custom dictionary the disallowed entry is not detected and the user is able to set a password.

I can confirm the custom dictionary has blank entries at the start and end of the file.

I have tested in an older version 11.0.4.17 (need to update and test in current)

The client is using 11.0.5.5

Can you verify if this is this a potential bug??

The terms also must be all caps. Please use the sort function in the dictionary rule and try again.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the fast response, adding all the entries in uppercase and sorting via the rule resolved the issue in my tests.

I will pass this info back to the client so they can test.

This thread can be closed resolved.
