AD and using the password policy of the AD

Hi,
We are using the 8.1.1.p5 and gateways (not connector based) adapter based AD
Today, when you reset a password, the domain account used in the gateway overrides the password policy and lets you set any password
is there a way to implement the AD (or other resource) password policy when resetting passwords from IdM?
i.e. basically we dont want the user to be able to reuse the N latest passwords

Hi,
You are correct. This will not work if password is changed in AD. If the password policy is set in AD to not take n passwords, then it will give exception in IDM when you try to give the same password again.
Another alternative is to check the exception that is comingi and check if it is for password in history, then you can ask the user to set the password again.

Arjun

Hi,
Are you using Windows 8.0, or Windows 8.1? If you are using Windows 8.1, the excellent instructions in DavidPK's link above won't apply.
To find out what your operating system is, press the Windows + X keys, and select System from the list. Look under Windows Edition for your operating system (example below):

How to ignore the password policy in a custom workflow?

Hi,
We have a custom workflow which is called via SPML to provide 'Administrator Change Password' functionality in a portal.
Our password policy sets the String Quality rules and Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused. But we like to bypass the password policy when the password administrators (who have a admin role with a capability - 'Change Password Administrator'). At least, restriction ' Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused' need to be ignored (But password need to be added to the history... cannot disable adding passwords to history).
Please advice me how it could be achieved?
The workflow steps:
1. Checkout 'ChangeUserPassword' view for the user as an administrator
2. Set the new password in the view, set true to view.savePasswordHistory
3. Set password on the resources
4.Checkin the view
Thanks
Siva

Thanks eTech.
My main goal is to skip the password history check (new password can't be a last used 10 passwords) when admin change password workflow is launched. As you suggested , I created a special password policy exactly as our regular password policy excluding "Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused" setting.
Then before change the password of a user as admin, special policy is attached , password changed, and user's password policy is reverted back to regular one. The issue is, as the special policy does not enforce the password history check, the whole password history of the user is wiped out from the user object when the password is changed by admin change password workflow. We don't want this to happen.
Please guide me whether is anyway to achieve just ignoring the password history without any other impact on user.
Is adding passwords to user object's password history list is triggered by "Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused" setting of the password policy??
Thanks
Siva

I am going crazy changing passwords that do not get recognized by the different services when it is time to use them, until I am asked to change the password again, starting the vicious cycle again: i need to use the password, it does not get recognized three times, then the system asks me to change it again, and again, and I am stuck!! Is there any fix for this "glitch?

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

UserPrincipal.ChangePassword thinks the password does not meet the password policy requirements.

I am working with C# 3.5. My goal is to have a simple program to allow a user change their Active Directory user password via a web page. I have a console application to initially test the commands to active directory and I am running into a problem.
my domains password policy is as follows.
Enforce password history 24 passwords remembered
Minimum password length 7 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements Enabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
The error I am getting is "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)"
I believe the new password I am using does meet the policy requirements and I can't seem to get this program to work. All I want to build is a simple program to allow a user to change their Active Directory user password.
My test code is below.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
using System.DirectoryServices;
namespace ActiveDirectoryHacking
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
PrincipalContext adPrincipalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "192.168.1.26", "OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org", "John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword");
Console.WriteLine("Validate user {0}", adPrincipalContext.ValidateCredentials("John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword"));
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(adPrincipalContext, "John.Doe");
Console.WriteLine(user.DistinguishedName);
user.ChangePassword("Initial Complex P234dfword", "e$213434sDKS really? www.microsoft.com");
//user.SetPassword("Initial Complex P234dfword");
user.Save();
Console.WriteLine("Press a key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
The .SetPassword works if I use a user with Domain Admin access but it appears the John.Doe is unable to change their own password with the .ChangePassword method.
The output until the exception is the following
Validate user True
CN=John Doe,OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org
I have no clue why any password I select for the new password does not work.

I looked into the password policy and this is what I have learned. There is a major difference between undefined and defined in policies plus making sure the defined policies are set with values that will provide the desired results.
Since this is a development domain and is used for testing I have tweaked the password policy to allow me to develop and test against the domain with a little bit more freedom than a production domain.
I have changed the policy to the following settings.
Enforce password history 0 passwords remembered
Maximum password age 0 days
Minimum password age 0 days
Minimum password length 7 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
Now, I am able to run my program against the domain testing the password change utility. My error was leaving some of the policy settings as not defined and not understanding what that really means for each setting. For development of a password change utility I need the flexibility to test and the relaxed policy changes allows me to run the program many times without having to work with test data that works around a more restricted policy.

Getting error while creating a new web app saying "The password supplied with the username domainname\username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again"

Hi ,
I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
What should i do ??
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Anurag

HI,
right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

I am being asked to verify my Apple ID. When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong. It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

I am being asked to verify my Apple ID. When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong. It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive. How do I resolve this?

This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).
Here's the workaround fix I found after some online research:

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

What are you trying to accomplish? Have you at least read the manual?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19693-01/819-0995/fhkrj/index.html
As reported in earlier threads on this forum, DSEE 6.0 IS NOT a release you should use in your production environment, specially if you're starting new projects; consider moving at least to the latest 6.x release which is 6.3.1.1.1

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
