Doc Text:	When a user password was reset by an administrator, the old password was previously not stored in the user's password history. This allowed the user to reuse the same password after the reset. With this update, resetting a password also stores it in password history, and the user must use a different password.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2016-05-03 21:07:29 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48813

When an admin resets a password the current password is not stored in the password history.  This incorrectly allows the user to reuse the previous password after the reset.

Comment 1 Noriko Hosoi 2016-06-02 16:15:26 UTC

Justification: From the security perspective, password reset must strictly follow the password policy.
