Sage 300 2023 SP5 authentication method

SOLVED

When upgrading to Sp5 and using the new security model I have trouble making users with the Sage 300 authentication method.   It indicate that a password needs to have at least 1 upper or lower case value and a special character but that is not set in the local security policy.   When I make the user a windows user (on a domain) there are no issues.   

With Sage 300 authentication where is it getting that policy for # of characters and 1 upper and 1 lower and a special character.  Is that somewhere within sage and a default?  if that is the case what is the default for account lockout or password history that it will user.

    so any sage 300 authenticated user - follows this need for upper lower case + special character password and we no longer have the ability to change that.   Does the password ever expire?  Do they get locked out after so many attempts?  Assume no password history setting as there wasn't one before.
