Symptoms:
- You keep getting the exception HRESULT: 0x800708C5 with the Active directory membership provider change password indicating that the password used does not conform to the domain password policy.
- As an admin, you are able to update the user password using that same password.
Probable cause:
- The active directory policy can be set to allow a “minimum password age”, i.e. users cannot change their own password before it is at least X days (default 1). The Administrator though does not have such restrictions when trying to update a user’s password.
- This can be checked at Start->Administrative tools->Group policy Management->Navigate the tree to the domain-> default domain policy –>right click edit->computer configuration –>policies –>windows settings->security settings-> account policies->password policy->check the entry for “minimum password age”
- If you want to reset it (mainly for development/testing purposes), just change it to zero. then go to command line gpupdate /force to apply the new policy

In order to grant authenticated FBA users access to a custom application page (/_layouts page), please follow these steps:
- The Page should inherit from LayoutsPageBase (Making it inherit from UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase will grant anonymous access to this page).
- Override the Properties RightsRequired and RequireDefaultLayoutsRights
protected override SPBasePermissions RightsRequired
{
get
{
SPBasePermissions permissionRequired = SPBasePermissions.ViewPages;
return permissionRequired;
}
}
protected override bool RequireDefaultLayoutsRights
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
This will grant authenticated FBA users access to this _Layouts page.
