@scottalanmiller well, no one said it's a one size fits all :p. To keep within our requirements, that's how we have to play it. 😞
I understand, you are doing it because some civil servant decided that making a forced insecure requirement would look better on getting a promotion than actually protecting the government. Same way it works here. It's just a form of corruption - in this case, probably some combination of inept, lazy or just willing to be insecure to avoid the same issues from inept or lazy people above them. Somewhere, someone who doesn't understand security (we hope that's all that it is) makes the decisions as an administrator and not as an IT pro. It's corrupt because obviously they know that they don't know anything about security, yet they make the judgement call anyway. Hopefully their corruption is just in being inept and being willing to do a job they don't know how to do.
That's a lot of pent up frustration, bad experience or just frustration at ignorant buttheads making rules they don't understand?
Anyway... Yeah, sounds about right.
