Jira Align Enterprise Insights Self-Hosted installation fails with "Password does not meet the operating system policy…"

Summary

During the installation of the Enterprise Insights Self-Hosted, the script Install.PS1 fails with the message “Password does not meet the operating system policy…"

Environment

Jira Align Self-Hosted

Diagnosis

The script will display the message “Password does not meet the operating system policy…"

Cause

The script Install.PS1 generates a random password when creating the SSISDB catalog, and this password doesn't match windows security policies.

Solution

1. Check the password policies set on Windows:

   1. On the PowerShell/cmd, type secpol.msc

   2. Look at the “account policies", to understand the length required for the password

2. If the password needs to be bigger than x chars, we need to edit the Install.PS1 to generate a new password for the catalog that matches the size, the line that needs to be edited on the Install.ps1 are lines 196 and 197:

3. The original on the script is like the below, so change it accordingly to the need

   1. $minLength = 5 ## characters $maxLength = 10 ## characters
