I'm running DNN4 (4.3.4) --

If you go to the Security Roles area under the Admin section, then choose User Settings, you are presented with a ton of options about the passwords for the users.  There are two sections here that have values I want to change:  Membership Provider Settings and Password Aging Settings.
 
However, under the first, I see this paragraph:
 
"In this section you can review the membership provider's settings. Some providers may allow you to edit the settings. The default provider based on the ASP.NET MemberRole requires you to edit web.config, so the settings can not be updated here."
 
I opened the web.config but was unable to find anything in there that I could change to dictate password length, non-alphanumeric chars, regular expression, etc.  Where in the web.config file do I do this editing to effect these values?

I was able to get this resolved.  My inexperience with DNN and .Net 2.0, had me quite confused.  But with some help and reading, I was able to see where in the web.config the few provided, and many missing, items needed to go and could be set to.

It is in the web.config.  Search for "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" and read the comments above it for the config options.

<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Encrypted" applicationName="DotNetNuke" description="Stores and retrieves membership data from the local Microsoft SQL Server database" />
