WAT Does Not Recognize minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters Attrib

I am using a custom provider for an ASP.NET 2.0 application using SQL Server
2005 store. I need to allow passwords that do not contain non-alphanumeric
characters. I am try to set the minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacteres to
zero. I have set up a provider in the web.config file and when I try to
create a user in WAT I get a message that the
minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters attribute is not recognized. Also, when
I try to enter a password that includes such a character, like an underscore,
it is not accepted.

How can I resolve these problems? My users will not want to deal with
non-alphanumeric characters in passwords.
 
I found the initial problem and it is REAL SUBTLE. In the web.config file I
used the attribute, minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters, and it did not
accept it. However, when I used minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters it did.
When the file is processed EVERYTHING is case sensitive. The uppercase "A"
following the substring "Non" is significant.

However, I still cannot create a user. There is still a password issue. I
get an error message:

Password length minimum: 6. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 0.

The candidate password has seven alphanumeric characters.

Any ideas?
