Assign Password Policy to Users
We have a system where we create users Java API.
Using Directory Server console i can assign a password policy to this user. I am trying to figure out how i can do the same using API. I do see few posts on this forum asking the same question but don't see this answered.
TIA.
mv, thanks for the advice. i am using web server 7. I also posted the question undet he directory server section. when i was researching this, i clicked on the add my own topic and did not pay attention to the thread. thanks again...

Best way to force password policy on users within 1-2 weeks?
We have a Server 2008 R2 domain.
I'd read that the password policy in GPO is only available for Computer Configuration, not User Configuration? Is that correct?
If so, that's not very flexible and will make things trickier for us.
And regarding enforcing a password policy with a GPO on our local domain, do you know of a way to force users to change their passwords within say 1 week? (the only options I know of are on the AD User account properties check a box "User
must change password at next logon" (then you'd have to force them to log out) OR relying on AD's internal formula:
webactivedirectory.com/.../how-active-directory-calculates-account-password-expiration-dates . The problem I see with the latter is if your user hasn't changed their pw for a year you'd have to wait a year+how many days you set for max password
age?
spnewbieTo add, the password policy is applied at the domain level and only works at the domain level. It's not the fact that it's at the "Computer Level" or "User Level" or not, it's the fact that it's only set at the domain level.
Account policies (Password, Lockout and Kerb), are all under the Computer Config because it forces it to apply to all user accounts that access all machines.
If you tried to create a password policy at any other level (any OU), it won't work. The only option is to use PSOs, as Mahdi pointed out.
As for that Spiceworks thread, I would suggest to post a question about a specific product to the product vendor's support forum for accurate responses.
Here's an excerpt from MOC 6425C Configuring and Troubleshooting Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, page 10-8 (and this applies to all versions of AD):
Active Directory supports one set of password and lockout policies for a domain. These policies are configured in a GPO that is scoped to the domain. A new domain contains a GPO called the Default Domain Policy that is linked to the domain and that includes
the default policy settings for password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies. You can change the settings by editing the Default Domain Policy GPO.
The best practice is to edit the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify the password policy settings for your organization. You should also use the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify account lockout policies and Kerberos policies. Do not use the Default
Domain Policy GPO to deploy any other custom policy settings. In other words, the Default Domain Policy GPO only defines the password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies for the domain. Additionally, do not define password, account lockout, or Kerberos
policies for the domain in any other GPO.
The password settings configured in the Default Domain Policy affect all user accounts in the domain. The settings can be overridden, however, by the password-related properties of the individual user accounts. On the Account tab of a user's Properties dialog
box, you can specify settings such as Password Never Expires or Store Passwords Using Reversible Encryption. For example, if five users have an application that requires direct access to their passwords, you can configure the accounts for those users to store
their passwords by using reversible encryption.

Password Policy and user account lockout in OAM
Hi folks,
I'm new to OAM and have rather silly question: I created Password Policy where I've defined the Number of login tries allowed, Custom Account Lockout Redirect URL, etc. Now, how do I tie it to the authentication / authorization rules inside my Policy Domain which I'm using to protect a certain resource?
Thank you
RomanHi Colin,
I do have the validate_password plugins defined in the Authent scheme, here they are:
credential_mapping obMappingBase="xxxxxx"
validate_password obCredentialPassword="password"
validate_password obReadPasswdMode="LDAP"
validate_password obWritePasswdMode="LDAP"
Yet, after the third unsuccessful login, nothing happens. I still don't get it how the password policy I've created kicks into the action? Should it be evaluated each time a user attempts an access? Is it getting engaged due to the validate password plugin names?
I've also noticed that the only default step I have in the Authent scheme doesn't list the last two validate password plugins in it. Does it have to?
Thanks Roman

This ended up being an issue with the OU in which I made the user. I deleted the new OU, recreated it and it worked fine. Time to glue my hair back in.
Thank you for your response though.

How to add a new password policy
This must be simple, but appearantly nobady has conceeded:
"how does one add a NEW password policy to the OID?"
I need this functionality, because I want to enforce the following rules in my SSO application:
- 99% of the users may have passwords that never expire
- 1% (say 5 or 6) users must have passwords that do expire, because they are super users and we want to minimize the risk of their passwords getting in the wrong hands.
I feel almost embarrased to post this question, but I really cannot find any example or documentation that shows me how to add a new password policy.
Is their any way to do this in OID?Hi,
Can you please provide exact steps those were used to create password policies for users.
I opened a Tar with metalink on this , and they told me that this way is not supported by Oracle.
So if you can please help me with this it will be great. See the details about the Tar as below:

Providing non-Root Admin Users ability to override password policy
We are making use of Sun Directory Server 5.2.
Password policy has been implemented using CoS template definitions. As per the policy, the password minimum age (passwordMinAge) attribute is set to 24 hours, so as to restrict the user from frequently modifying his/her password.
However, we do not want to place this restriction or enforce this policy on the Admin user of our system.
We noticed the attribute passwordRootDNMayBypassModsChecks in the Directory Server documentation. But this attribute cannot be used, since our application does not use Root DN credentials to reset password.
So we would like to know if there is a way for non-Root DNs to over-ride password policy definitions?
TIA,
ChetanYou can create a administrative password policy and assign it to that particular user, else your global password policy will apply to all your users. I would assign this administrative password policy to the admin user, replication manager, and proxyagent

Different Password Policy for Different User Groups in ACS 4.2
Hi All,
Can some one provide a solution for the below requirement?
We do have ACS 4.2 appliance managing firewalls of different clients. The users are common i.e, helpdesk administrators. One of the client came up with setting different password policy for managing their devices i.e, the client wants to have min 15 characters as password length. We do have currently 8 characters as min password length. Can we change the password policy to min 15 characters only for managing the firewalls of this client whereas for all other client firewalls we feel better to have 8 characters as min password length?
It seems that these password policies are global & affects all the users.
This is something like, having two sets of password (for each user) policy depending on the client which he is going to manage.
For my knowledge, i think that this is not possible. But, thought to cross-check with experts!
-Jags.Hi jags,
Yor're correct. Password policy on ACS will affect all internal user. We can't create different password policies for diferent clients/connections/set_of_users
Password validation options apply only to user passwords that are stored in the ACS internal database. They do not apply to passwords in user records in external user databases; nor do they apply to enable or admin passwords for Cisco IOS network devices.

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Domain Level: 2008
Forest Level: 2000
We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
and can reset a password for a user account to be blank.
Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins?Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

Help!! Need to display current EBS 11i user password policy
I need to find way to display Oracle EBS 11i (Oracle Financial)'s current password policy for each EBS user account. Is there any way to do it? Can we run some SQLs to pull it off or need to run any report to do this.
Thanks advanceFrom the application, see (How To Setup Password Security? [ID 564125.1]).
From the database, see the docs referenced in this thread -- User profile report
Thanks,

The setup:
We have the option "Password must: be reset on first user login" enabled in the Global Password Policy on our 10.9 / Mavericks server. We import new user accounts into Open Directory via a delimited text file and include a default password for each user.
What I've observed and tested:
When a user attempts to log into a computer that's bound to our Open Directory for the first time, they can enter anything in the password field and still receive the prompt to reset their password. They are never notified that they entered their default password incorrectly. The password reset will then fail (as it should), but they still aren't notified that this is the reason for the password reset failure. To put it another way: Seeing the prompt to reset your password would reasonably imply that you entered the default password correctly, but that's not the case at all.
The question:
Is this expected behavior? If it is, it doesn't seem logical. If this was the case in OS X Server 10.3 through 10.7 I never noticed it. Can anyone corroborate this with their own setup? Thanks in advance.
-- SteveSome follow up questions:
- How did you migrate (dsmig ldif or binary import)
- Did the accounts in .x have any custom password policies set?
For a "new" and a migrated entry, can you check if a passwordpolicysubentry is configured?
(search as directory manager and fetch the attribute) -
How would you assign passwords in a script for a user
How would i assign a password in script??
the only way to "automate" password/user additions is to use expect - to allow you to input some meaningful password - stdin doesn't work too well as you've probably seen
Alternatively you can find the crypted value for some password and use that in a cut and paste fashion into the /etc/shadow file (as root obviously) but there are some limitations...
i.e.
echo "${newuserid}:x:${uid}:${gid}:${GCOS}:${homedir}:${usershell}" >> /etc/passwd
echo "${newuserid}:${cryptedpasswd}:0:7:90::::" >> /etc/shadow
this means that you have basically one password you're assigning to each new user, which may or may not be what you're digging after.
If you can figure out how to crypt the password (with the appropriate salt) so it fits into the /etc/shadow crypted format, you'd have your problem solved. -
How can I set OIM password policy for OID Users.
Hi,
For me the target resourec is OID. When I create users in OIM, they get provisioned to OID. Their password also gets stored in OID.
Now, I have a password policy in OIM. In that policy, the password exipration day is set to 28 days. After 28 days, the user's password will expire in OIM. Is there any way that password will also expire in OID too, so that user will not be able to login in OID?
Thanks in advance.You need to do the following.
1. Find the attribute in OID that determines the disable date.
2. Add a field to your provisioning process definition form.
3. Using a pre-populate adapter, use an input of your oim user account expiration date, and convert that to the format OID uses.
4. Update your lookup for provisioning attributes to include this new field to map the field name to the OID attribute.
5. Create an "Updated" task for this field so that when it gets changed, the new value is pushed to OID.
6. Create a user form trigger value for the field that maps to the oim user account expiration field. For this trigger, add a task to your oid provisioning process that does the same tasks as your pre-populate adapter to determine the new date value and pass it to the field on the process form.
Now when the OIM expiration date changes, this value will be passed to OID, and also when the account is first created.
Does this work for you?

Apply password policy to all users
Hi,
I have been poking around with setting up a password policy on Sun DS 6.3.1. Everything works ok but I only have seen examples of how to apply the password policy to a single user, with an ldif something like:
dn: uid=pepe,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: pwdPolicySubentry
passwordPolicySubentry:
cn=MyPolicy,dc=mycompany,dc=com
but I haven't figured out how to apply it to all users or to a group of users. What I would like to do is to apply the policy to all users under ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com.
Any tips ?
Thanks in advance.For all users, simply modify the global password policy.
For specific group of users, create a password policy and a Class of Service which links the users to the policy. Just search the directory server docs on how to do that in details.
