Are there any plans to fix the misinterpretation of the Exchange ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets"  in IOS6?

We are testing using IOS6 in our Corporate environment and came across a scenario where IOS6 incorrectly interprets the Exchange 2010 ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" as the number of special characters required rather than the number of character sets required. Is anyone aware of any plans to correct this in future releases? Here is a thread on Microsoft's forums about the issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrmobility/thread/fe05 1d55-24ba-45e4-b054-67861f28422d/

We have tried Android, Windows Phone7/8 and they all adhere to the "Minimum number of character sets" set in the ActiveSync policy, but IOS does not.
Require an alphanumeric password   Select this check box to require device passwords to contain both numbers and letters. The default is numbers only.
Passwords must include this many character sets   To enhance the security of device passwords, you can require passwords to contain characters from multiple character sets. Select a number from 1 to 4. The sets are letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, if you select 3, passwords must contain characters from three of these sets.
All other mobile device except IOS 5.x/6.X don't follow this.
You have to select "Require an alphanumeric password" which is letters and numbers.  But then you can only select 1-4 for the character sets. 
So we set it at 1, so that would mean you would only need letters and numbers, IOS does not reconize letters, letters uppercase, numbers or symobols as a charator set, it interprets the setting as how symbols you need.
If you set it at 2, then IOS makes you have "2" symbols in your password.....and so on...
Make sense?
It just seems that IOS does not reconize charator sets, it just looks at the number as how many symbols you need in a password.

    We are testing using IOS5 in our Corporate environment and came across a scenario where IOS5 incorrectly interprets the Exchange 2010 ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" as the number of special characters required rather than the number of character sets required. Is anyone aware of any plans to correct this in future releases? Here is a thread on Microsoft's forums about the issue:

    Thanks for the responses. I did submit this issue as a bug report earlier this morning also but thought I'd post here in the event any Apple insiders saw this and cared to comment. 
    This really is a significant problem in that our testing shows that the way IOS5 interprets this ActiveSync policy in Exchange 2010 does not allow you to enforce a password using just letters and numbers. This is because  the only valid values for this policy are 1-4. The way IOS5 interprets this requires 1-4 special characters in the password, not 1-4 character sets.

  • Why is Flash slow on OS X and are there any plans to fix it?

    Hi,
    The other I was talking with a friend of mine about performance of OS X vs Windows. Looks like while in certain aspects OS X is faster than Windows, in others it is painfully slower. While Safari 4 is 42x faster than IE 7, Flash is incredibly slower on OS X compared to Windows.
    Any ideas why is this the case? Are there any ongoing cooperations between Apple and Adobe to fix this problem?
    Cheers,
    Behi

  • Are there any plans to fix Apple ID's? Please don't answer unless you work for Apple.

    The only reason I have 2 apple IDs is poor planning by Apple. Mobile Me users were assigned a me.com ID, despite the fact that I already had an Apple ID. Now the me.com ID has followed me to iCloud and I can't get rid of it. When I set up iCloud I attempted to use my original Apple ID but was disallowed due to it "already being in use"...by me of course, but no matter. Now I am stuck with 2 IDs. Apple has confirmed this.
    To update apps, you must sign in with the original ID or repurchase it. Why would I do this? I purchased it using my ID and used it on only one device. To sync everything though I must use my me.com ID. (Remember-it can't be changed to your original ID) If you sign in with the me.com ID your account shows that you have made no purchases and therefore you have nothing to update. If you try to install the app using the new ID it tries to charge you money again. And of course you constantly have sync issues because your phone and your computer are signed in using separate Apple IDs.
    Now, you want me to sign up for an @icloud address? Yeah right. That will simplify things.
    Nice going Apple. Way to simplify my life.

    At which site are you trying to change it at?
    Is it an apple email address for the ID or is an outside email address?
    Do both Apple IDs have .me addresses associated with them?
    It will not let you change an address from one Apple ID to another as long as they are both listed as an apple ID login. If you want to add one address from one ID to the other ID, you must first delete the address you want to move from the original.
    My first ID was one listed with an outside email address. What I did was changed the primary address for that ID to another outside address which I created in gmail and then added in the Manage ID screen. Once I changed the primary address, I deleted the original address from that ID. I then logged into the Manage ID site for the second ID and I was able to add it to the original ID to it since it was deleted from the first one.
    Once I had the all the correct email addresses associated with the same Apple ID, I was able to log into iTunes and edit and change the ID to the one I'm using now.
    Maybe that will help you if I made that clear enough.
    Like I said, I did this a long time back and it may not work the same for you.

  • Are there any plans of fixing this bug on linux ?

    More than a year ago (actually it's closer to two), this bug (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034) (and a few duplicates) was filed. It has yet to be given a decent response.
    I mean, sure, those CPUs are quite dated, but unless it's a high resolution video, flash worked quite decently there, so why did you have to gut it ? Espescially, that it seems to be a matter of a compiler switch.
    PS: I don't really expect any decent response and this is a throw away account, but on the off chance, that you'll actually try fixing it, I'm giving it a try. Just about anything that needed to be said, already was in that bug.

    All Linux development for Flash Player was transitioned over to PPAPI after 11.2
    http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/02/adobe-and-google-partnering-for-flash-player-on -linux.html
    Have you given this a try with the latest Chromium builds?  If it's still a problem I'd recommend opening a new bug in the Chromium bug database.

  • Are there any plans for Firefox Sync to include the customisation of the toolbar?

    It's frustrating that Firefox sync doesn't include toolbar customisation data. It's otherwise a great piece of functionality that means when installing Firefox I don't have to set anything up apart from remembering to rearrange the buttons to my preference. This also goes for whether the menu and bookmarks toolbar are displayed.

    hi gsoper, i've asked in the firefox sync channel about this and it's not something that is on the roadmap for sync at the moment, as that would be difficult across versions, platforms, when add-ons differ, and so on...

  • As far as I know, the iPad cannot presently playback a full length movie from a DVD or any other source.  Are there any plans to add such a capability to the iPad in the future?

    Phil0124:  Sorry, I guess that I may not have communicated clearly initially.  The reason that I asked about the DVD reading capability in the first place is that I would like to be able to watch a movie "stand-alone" (like on an airplane) on my iPad without having an internet connection.  If VUDU is strickly a streaming service that wouldn't satisfy my needs after all.  After looking into the iTunes store offerings, I can see that I can either purchase a movie or rent one from them.  Either way, as I understand it, the content would then reside in a file in the iTunes folder in my computer (if rented, this would just be temporarily) and could be viewed on my computer and/or transferred to my iPad for viewing.  Considering the legal question, isn't there a copy being made and transferred into my possession.  So,what's up with that?
    Yes Vudu streams. iTunes does not. If you buy or rent a movie on your computer through the iTunes store, then you are legally entitled to transfer that movie to your digital device as long as that device is under the Same Apple ID used to download it to the computer, and is authorized to view the content. Usually this is the case if your device is synced with iTunes on the computer  This is legal and covered by the terms of use of the iTunes store.   
    If your rent a movie on your computer you can also transfer it to your iPad but it will be removed from the computer as rentals can only exist in one place at a time. When the rental period expires the movie will be automatically removed from your computer or device, wherever it is when the rental period expires.
    If you buy a movie on your iPad these can be transferred to your computer using the Transfer Purchases button on iTunes on your computer while the iPad is connected to it.   Rentals on iPads or other mobile device cannot be transferred and must be watched in the iPad or device that download them.
    All of these methods through the iTunes store download the complete movie to the device or computer, so no internet connection is required for watching at a later date.
    Rentals have a 30 day life as long as they haven't begun to be watched.  Once the movie has been started then it has a 48 hour expiry period. That is you must finish watching the rented movei within 48 hours of rental as after that it is removed from the device.  You can watch it as many times as you want in that period of time though.

  • Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?

    There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
