SYMPTOMS

When you use the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) or the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), user authentication precedes authorization. If you change a password, the change is made even if you did not receive authorization.

The dial-up permissions should be set before the server permits you to change an expired password.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the function of changing a password is treated as an authentication type and is not moved after the authorization stage.
