Forcing Password Changes

I've got some scenarios I've been asked to research regarding expiring passwords and preventing account lockouts. We are on Windows 7.
If a user is logged in while their password expires, is it possible to force a prompt to have them change their password before they log out.
If a user's screen is locked while their password expires, is it possible to set a password change prompt when they attempt to unlock?
I guess the theme is how can password changes be forced before a user can get locked out after password expiration???
Thanks,
Matt

The only thing you can change is the notification about how many days it is before the password expires.

  • How to implement Force password change during authentication

    Description of problem
    Our client requires web applications to support its internal security policy beyond
    normal authentication. This includes:
    - force password change periodically. This should be performed at logon time.
    - maintain password history so that a new password would not repeat any of its
    previous 15 changes.
    We already have an authentication server that satisfy these requirements. However,
    we would also like to base our solution on WebLogic security framework so that
    we can leverage the benefit of the container-managed declarative security (e.g.
    we don't need to use our special cookie to check whether a user is authenticated
    for every web page in the application). So the best scenario for us is to wrap
    up this authentication server using WLS 7.0 authentication SSPI.
    My initial investigation of WLS 7.0 security framework (based on edocs and the
    sample customer security provider codes) convinced me that overall, this is achievable.
    However, I am still left with quite a few questions, which I would like to get
    your help.
    Questions:
    1. (web container) The J2EE-standard container-based authentication is to specify
    <login-config> element. My understanding is that only FORM based authentication
    is applicable. The specified form elements:
    <form method="post" action="j_security_check">
    <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="j_username">
    <INPUT TYPE= "password" NAME="j_password">
    </form>
    is adequate for authentication. However, if the authentication service provider
    indicates that password change is needed, what would be the most appropriate way
    within WebLogic for the authentication service provider to pass such a flag to
    the web container know so that our application can access it? I guess, a simpler
    question, would be, using the standard <login-config>, webapp knows only about
    authentication fails or succeeds. Can it possibly know more information provided
    by the authentication service provider right after authentication?
    2) If we don't use standard FORM-based authentication, we will code up our own
    authentication control, which could give us a lot more flexibility, but can we
    then bind our Subject obtained through our authentication control to the WebLogic
    Subject that is running the webapp.
    3) (Authentication service provider) Our design is for the custom LoginModule
    to delegate login calls to the authentication server, and throws more refined
    exceptions such as: FailedLoginException, PasswordExpiredException, UserAccountLockedException
    (all subclassed from LoginException). Another approach is to provide detailed
    information such as password expired in callbacks. Either way, when Authentication
    service provider returns, how our web application can access this refined flag
    of authentication result.
    4) Can our customer authentication service provider use DataSource defined in
    a weblogic server? I ask this question because DataSource itself is a protected
    resource of WebLogic. Will referencing it during authentication initiate another
    authentication cycle?
    Can anyone who has experienced similar requirements and worked solutions please
    give me a hint? I appreciate your guidance.

    I believe it's impractical to fit the requirement of forcing a password change
    into the standard JAAS interface.
    I think the only practical way to do this is to implement a servlet filter that
    reads the persistent record of the logged-in user to check for a "force change
    password flag". If it finds this, the servlet filter will forward to a page to
    change your password. Note that the servlet filter may be hit again when
    trying to get to the change password page, so it needs to know to not do the
    check in that case.
    If you implement this, I would strongly urge you to softcode the "change
    password" page URL in your system configuration, and not hardcode it in the
    servlet filter.

  • ADFS 3.0 and force password change

    I was wondering if anyone knows if ADFS 3.0 supports the AD flag "Force password at first login"?  I know 2.0 does not. I have been integrating Shibboleth with my ADFS and a custom login handler but I would really like to not complicate my
    setup and use straight ADFS if at all possible.  Our ADFS setup would be for a SSO into our on-premise Sharepoint 2010 server. Even if 3.0 returns a error indicating that the password needs changed at least I can then tell the student that and direct
    them to our FIM server to have them register and set their password.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Joe
    Joe M

    Brian,
    I understand that Azure Ad won't store password.  This is all on-premise servers, nothing in Azure.  I see that with ADFS 3.0, if the flag is set to change password at next logon, the user does get a different message than if they just typed a
    wrong password.  I guess what I am looking at doing is instead of them getting the message that their password is expired, redirect them to our FIM server so that they can register for self-service as well as set their new password.  If ADFS 2, the
    returned message was the same whether it was an expired password or a wrong password.  So ADFS 3 is nice in regards to that. Now it is just a matter of trying to take advantage of that.  I thought about maybe creating a relaying party trust to our
    FIM with a claim on that attribute but just not sure how to go about doing that at the moment.

    I can see why KDE would require a password change if one hasn't been set previously.
    You also could ask for help trying to fix the original issue, which as I understand it, is that the password change app is borked.
    yea the passwords were created when the users were created through the KDE add user utility, I wasn't worried about the change password utility as it is my kids computer. I installed KDE to moce them softly off windows .

  • Why can't I login into my Apple account without being forced to change my password.

    I received an email from Apple:
    "The following changes to your Apple ID (xxxxxxxxxxxx) were made on 01 January 2015 at 17:52:54 (GMT):
    Shipping and/or billing address.
    When I log on to check my Shipping and Billing address I am prompted to change my password, which I do NOT want to do.
    I cannot go any further than the forced password change screen.
    How do I check my account details without changing my password?
    I am not happy with being forced to change my password. it almost makes me wonder if I have been redirected to a 'scam' site.

    How are you trying to log into your account ? You can log into an account :
    - via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
    - Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes
    - tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device
    All three let you view and/or change your billing address, though only the last you let you view payment details. You could try one of the other methods and see if they let you login without requesting a password change.
    This page lists the current requirements for passwords : Security and your Apple ID.
    If you want to check your account's purchase history then you can do so via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • NAC Guest server allow password change

    hi,
      i see there is an option to "allow password change" or "force password change" for guest roles in the NGS. But when i created a guest account using this guest role, after webauthentication , there is no prompt to change password. Is this the intended behaviour or is there anything else that i need to configure. Looking at it, i am not sure how the NGS would allow a "guest user" to really overwrite the password by allowing password change. ? is that not a security risk as well for the NGS ? my setup has 5508 anchor controller and NGS communicating via RADIUS.
    regards
    Joe

    Rob,
    We had much the same issue, more around using AD for SSO for sponsors as well as using the NGS as the hotspot. 
    The  way around it for us was to have the NGS sit on the inside of the  network, with a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) that had a public IP address to the outside world,  but also a CNAME to an internal address on the inside of the network and  ran NAT on our firewall at the DMZ to link the public and private IP  together. 
    The flow looks something like this:-
    Wireless Client --> (public IP: NAT'd to private IP) --> Firewall --> NGS on internal network
    NGS on internal network <-- (private IP) sponsor
    NGS on internal network <-- (private IP) active-directory
    The reason we use a CNAME internally is so we can maintain the FQDN which is publically signed by an external CA.
    This seems to work ok.  Also the anchor-controller we  have for guest access also has a FQDN assigned to it's virtual interface  which is also publically signed by an external CA. 
    This stops all the security pop-ups and provides a more seemless experience to wireless clients associating with the network. 
    Security  is taken care of by strictly controlling access to the NGS both on the  anchor controller using ACL's and also on the DMZ firewall.  So if  traffic targetting the NGS comes in from the internet intended for the  NGS from an untrusted/unknown IP range/tcp port then it will not be  permitted.
    Hope this makes sense?

  • OAM - Force password reset - eDirectory

    I have a form based authentication scheme that uses eDirectory. Authentication is working. What I want to do is force all users to change their password upon next login. I set up a password policy and defined my Password Change Redirect URL and Password Expiry Warning Redirect URL but I'm not sure what to do to trigger the system to redirect the user to the password change piece after logging in. Is there some attribute in eDirectory I can set for each user to accomplish this? Any other ideas?

    Hi Scott,
    In order to apply password policies, OAM only reacts to attributes that belong to its own password policy class (oblixpersonpwdpolicy) - out of the box, OAM manages these attributes, eg storing the password history or the number of failed login attempts.
    For a forced password change, OAM looks to see if the value of the user's obpasswordchangeflag is set to "true", in which case it will apply the redirect for password change during the login process (OAM automatically updates this attribute when the user's password is changed via the WebPass by an admin). If you want this to be applied to every user, you could do some kind of bulk update of the attribute using an ldap utility.

  • Windows 7 Expired Password - Recvd Warning prompts but not forced to change password

    Our Windows 7 users are prompted when their passwords will expire in 14 Days, however They are not forced to change thier password before it expires. If the users ignore the expiration warning they can only get logged into the network after having the helpdesk
    reset thier password.
    Is there a way to force Windows 7 users to change thier passwords on the day it expires. Our WinXP users get the 14 day warning and are forced to change thier passwords on day 14.
    I have the GPO configured to notifiy users when thier passwords will expire in 14 days
    Thank you,
    Glen

    Hi,
    After applying above settings, the user can change the password by default at the expire day. Please create a new domain profile and test the issue on several Windows
    7 machines. Can the user be enforced to change password at expire day? If not, please refer to the following steps to collect the information for research.
    1. On the DC, open GPMC, right-click Group Policy Results, choose Group Policy Results Wizard, follow the wizard to collect a Group Policy result for problematic
    Windows 7 client.
    2. On the Windows 7 machine where GPO failed to apply, please perform the following steps to collect log files:
    a) Please add the specified registry key to enable group policy log (%windir%\debug\usermode\gpsvc.log), and remove or rename it to disable group policy log after
    collecting data. You may need to create the Diagnostics key if it is not there.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics
    Type: DWORD
    Value: GPSvcDebugLevel
    Data: 0x30002 (hexadecimal)
    b) Then on the problematic Win7 machine, run command “gpupdate /force”.
    c) Then on the problematic Win7 machine, run command “gpresult /v > gpr_win7.txt”, send me gpr_win7.txt file.
    d) On the problematic Win7 machine, run command “eventvwr”, then expand to Applications and service logs -> Microsoft -> windows -> groupPolicy
    -> Operational. Right-click on it and click “save event as”. Save the file as .evtx format and send it to me.
    e) After that, please send me the above output files. (please zip them first and then send them to me).
    - %windir%\debug\usermode\gpsvc.log
    - gpr_win7.txt
    - win7.evtx
    Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the GPMC
    result and the zip files, and then give us the download address.

  • Error when forced to change password

    Hello,
    We are running W7 Embedded Standard edition.  We have a unit where the user if forced to change their password but get the error message "configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable,
    or access has been denied".  It is a standalone PC.  To rebuild will require a huge effort. This is the only active account on the PC.  The Administrator and guest accounts are disabled.  Any suggestions on how to get around this ?

     If FBWF or EWF is in the image, disable them and the try changing the password. Also, make sure the user didn't attached the machine to a domain.
    Changing local account policy so passwords never time out. You can create a custom security policy template that installs with the OS that disables password timeout.

  • Why am I being forced to change my Apple ID Password

    I am no longer able to access my Apple ID account settings as every time I log in I am prompted to change my password.  My password absolutely meets all the minimum requirements and yet I cannot get past the login for being forced into changing the password. Is this defective behavior on the Apple site or is Apple really forcing me to change my password?

    Hi mad4dogz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  So that I can understand your question, where are you trying to log in when the password request happens?  Are you at iCloud.com, or using email, or iTunes, FaceTime or iMessage?  Are you getting an error message that states to change the password, or is it that when you enter your password, you can't get past the log in screen?  Are you working with a Mac, an iPhone or iPad, or a PC?
    The first thing I would suggest is to go to the Apple ID website, sign in with your password, and confirm that the one you are currently using is correct.   If you change the password here, you will need to change it in each of the settings I mentioned above.
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    Click "Password and Security".
    In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password. 
    Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
    The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
    If you are using an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) - I would first restart the device.  If you still get the prompt, then you may need to reset the device.  
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559
    If the issue still persists, then re-entering the password information for each of the services above would be the next thing to try.  You can do this from the Settings app on the iOS devices; System Preferences on your Mac; or iCloud Control Panel on a PC.
    Sorry this information is somewhat vague, but without knowing the details above, it will hopefully give you some ideas for troubleshooting the issue.
    If you need additional help with your Apple ID, contact our support team:
