WebOS Not Enforcing Exchange Hard PIN's, when will this be fixed.

I have searched for this using PIN and don't believe I've found the exact issue.
Rant: 
I've had my Pre since about two weeks after release, part of the reason why I got it is because my company was going to allow the pre access to exchange, but it's been over 6 months and I'm sick of webmail.
The Problem: (from what my company has told me)
WebOS does NOT enforce a strong PIN requirement.
So basically even if this requirement is checked in exchange anyone with a Pre could simply set a PIN of 1111, 1234, 1212, or anything simple like this.
Because of this I can't use my phone to check my work email or calendar.  I was told through my company that Palm was going to fix this by the end of the year, but now that has came and gone and I still do not have access.
I really do appreciate all the development and will enjoy video recording, but when will something as simple as this be fixed.  I can't believe more people aren't complaining about this, but maybe it's just that some companies aren't aware that their employees can put in these simple PIN's, and haven't locked them out.
Thanks,
Rich

I don't see anywhere in the link you provided mentioning or detailing Hard PIN's.
Look at this
Removed incorrect link, see post 7 below or this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123484.aspx
 Allow Common Patterns
The Allow Common Patterns setting is used to either enable or disable the use of common number patterns used in creating a PIN. By default, this setting is disabled and will not allow users to input the following number patterns in the following list:
Sequential numbers   PIN values that consist completely of consecutive numbers. Examples of sequential numbers for a PIN are 1234 and 65432.
Repeated numbers PIN values that consist of repeated numbers. Examples of repeated numbers are 11111 and 22222.
Suffix of mailbox extension PIN values that consist of the suffix of your mailbox extension. If your mailbox extension is 36697, your PIN cannot be 669
From my understanding from what has been told to me from my company even if this is checked as default Pre (webos) users could just enter in 1111 for a password and it would work.  Now maybe I have this wrong and webos can't break this rule and gain access, but regardless it does not enforce a hard PIN and therefor my company is blocking it.

    First and foremost, you should update to 3.6.17 because the version you're running at the moment is insecure and exposes your system to attack. Update via '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
    That may even fix the problem since several minor bugs were also fixed in later versions.
    Similarly, after updating, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those which are necessary.
    If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    I didn't experience a problem myself accessing any of those sites you mentioned. See screenshot.

    When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before,  I can't really
    understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
    capture  quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
    Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
    But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

  • IOS 5.1 - Photo Quality STILL broken! When will this be FIXED?

    The update to iOS 5 broke something with ISO capability of the iPhone 4 camera. Flash pictures are fine, with proper ISO (check here if you don't know what ISO is http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_iso.html
    Low light and non-flash pictures have the wrong ISO since iOS 5 and have LOTS of grain and noise. This has rendered the camera in the iPhone 4 useless since the update from iOS 4. With iOS 4, my pictures had brilliant quality. This was a BIG reason why I purchased this phone in the first place. If you haven't noticed the difference, users who have had the phone since before the update can look at the difference in their pictures since. Massive difference.
    Many have suggest that restoring the device from new (after a backup) can fix this. It doesn't work. At least, not for the iPhone 4. Don't bother. I check regularly for an iOS update, and after seeing one today for iOS 5.1, I was really hoping this issue would be addressed. It wasn't.
    I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by Apple, but the lack of updates and some sort of status to their customers is incredibly irritating. When will this be fixed?
    Robert Heaney

    if you have nothing useful to add, why bother? I'm trying to find a solution to a problem that I KNOW many, many other people are experiencing...
    I don't really care much if Apple reads this, I'm just trying to find a solution. Geez.
    If you genuinely were just looking for other users help to fix a problem, and weren't expecting Apple to read or respond you wouldn't have titleled this thread as you did.  You wouldn't have said: "I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by Apple, but the lack of updates and some sort of status to their customers is incredibly irritating. When will this be fixed?" It is YOU who are trolling by deliberately posting inflamatory and misleading statements.
    The probolem is clearly in YOUR DEVICE.  Maybe there is a a hardware issue.  However, the other 99.999+% don't have the issue - and we're not bilind, oblivious idiots either.

  • Unable to Open a URL or File in Captivate 7 publication, When will this be fixed?

    I have several projects that we just upgraded to Captivate 7.

This is something that worked in prior versions and apparently is broke in Captivate7. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1285497. It has been 4 months since it was indicated as a known issue.

  • Still suffering with dropping, unresponsive bluetooth on MBP Retina. When will this be fixed?

    I am still having this problem with my MBP Retina display. I am currently typing on the keyboard on the machine because it just lost the bluetooth connection, yet again. After the message flashes up saying "connection lost" for my keyboard the bluetooth settings on my system preferences are not responsive. It drops the connection very regularly, usually at the end of the day but it's something that goes wrong with the bluetooth on the macbook because I get the same <<do not localize...Name not available>> message that others have mentioned.
    What has NOT fixed this issue:
    I have reset NVRAM/PRAM
    I have reset the SMC
    I have the latest OSX v. 10.9.2
    I have new batteries in two different apple wireless keyboards that have both suffered the same issue
    I have switched off wifi and run from ethernet, but bluetooth still fails, it still happens.
    I have searched the discussions and found many people reporting the same problem going back many months now but nobody posting a solution that works. When is this going to get sorted out?

    This is still happening to me on a daily basis. I'm unable to connect to, or switch off bluetooth on my MBPRetina from Spring 2013. I get the message <<do not localize...name not available>> on my bluetooth preferences. I'm now going to restart my computer so I can connect to the wireless keybaoard. Is there nothing that can be done about this glitch?

  • I am a Netflix user I am also a Linux user. I would also like to use Firefox but you do not provide any DRM support. When will this change?

    Perhaps then is when I start using Firefox again. I don't like the idea of having to have a different browser for each different thing I want a browser to do, that would be rediculous. What other details could you possibly need? I like having the choice to use or not use DRM material and your lack of providing that choice is objectionable, just as objectionable as it is for DRM providers, ie: Nook for PC, to not support my choice as a Linux user. I'm sure I'm going to miss Firefox, I've been using it for about 15 years now. I no longer buy any Nook books! I support your choice of not supporting Linux in this way if its your attitude that Linux users are only 2% or 3% of the worlds OS users anyway. Another reason to believev in Google, a great browser, as well as Earth, Maps, Search, OS, and digitizing the worlds libraries. All honorable endevors by what seems to be a more and more honorable company all the time. Why don't you (Firefox) fully support HTML 5 yet? What seems to be the hold-up? DRM support is part of that!

    Hi Timevirus,
    This is a good question!
    Firefox has traditionally lagged behind other browsers in terms of DRM support, because DRM is a thorny issue for Mozilla. Mozillians believe in an open web controlled by the users - with users having the power to remix and create new content. DRM restricts what users can do and runs counter to that.
    However, [https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/05/14/drm-and-the-challenge-of-serving-users/ things are changing]. Some [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/reconciling-mozillas-mission-and-w3c-eme/ very clever folks are working] to integrate a new DRM technology (called EME) into Firefox. EME has been advocated by many of the big players in the industry (including Netflix) - so, hopefully, both Firefox and Netflix will eventually work with EME.
    EME is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1089858 scheduled to land in Firefox 37], due to be released in the second week of April 2015. But this is tentative - so it could well be later.
    Hope this helps answer your question.

  • Norton and Comcast tool bars were disabled when I updated to Firefox v4. When will this be fixed?

    After installing Firefox v4 my Comcast and Norton tool bars were disabled, Firefox could not find an update and deemed them not compatible with v4. Do you have any information on getting this corrected. Right now I have no protection from Norton when using the internet via Firefox.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    You will need to contact Comcast about their plans to make their toolbar compatible with Firefox 4.
    If you want to downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
