You will see an option in there to convert to trusted system.

Note, some users will lose access because they don't meet minimum standards. They need to be informeed in advance.

Re: need more than 8 characters password

If local account passwords are not required > 8 characters, use LDAP-UX to connect to a directory.

Your password lockout/expiration/length/etc policies will be dicated by the directory instead of by DES56 on the host.
