Configure a Password Policy

Hi All,
i want to have a password policy for the database. As I found, there's a default table called dba_profiles where we can set password properties for the default database profile in 11g. Actual requirement is to change the sys user's password in every one month time. can i do that using this dba_profiles table?
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S
Can anybody give me a hand to do this please...... if i'm wrong..plss correct me. And if you have any other systematic way to configure a password policy, please let me know....
Thanks in Advance,
Max

DBA_PROFILES is just data dictionary view.But there is a term PROFILES which you can manage user`s passwords and other resources(like max_idle_time).Of course you can use profiles.
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? Yes it will effect other users which assign default profile(default profile is a default for all users you can see that after user creating dba_users.profile column).I suggest you do not change DEFAULT PROFILE settings.So create new your own profile using CREATE PROFILE LIMIT ... clause and assign this to users.
because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S

If you want implement different password policy for different users then create two or more profiles and use these.
Remember that to implementing profiles setting the RESOURCE_LIMIT initialization parameter must be TRUE.

Sun Directory Server Password Policy Problems

Hi,
I am using Sun Directory Server and Sun AM (2005Q1).
We are using SUN DS to configure the password policy to expire user passwords after 30 days.
Also, the warning has been set to "one day before expiry". However, when the warning IS displayed to the user and the user changes his/her password on display of the warning, even though the user's password expiration timestamp attribute contains a new timestamp (which is 30 days hence the date of change), on next login user is AGAIN thrown the warning that his/her password will expire in "HH hours: MM mins".
I do not understand what needs to be done to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

How is the user authenticated ? Through Access Manager or directly to the Directory Server ?
Access Manager can be configured to handle Password expiration, and so can Directory Server. I would advise you to check which system is actually throwing the warning.

Ludovic

IdM Password Policy Options

Anyone know of a way of configuring the Password Policy Options (found in the Identity System Policy) to lost password self-service?
Specifically:
Password Provided by "Generated"
Reset Notification Option "email"
A client (IdM 7.1) would like a person using the self-service lost password function (authenticating via questions) to have new random expired password emailed rather than changing it immediately
The above settings only seem to apply to Administrative password resets.
-Rob

Any solution found for this? I have the same issue.

OAM Password policy not working.

Hi All,
I am configuring a password policy in OAM which enforces the user to reset his password at first login. OAM is using OID as user store and I have added oblix password related objectclasses to OAM schema. OIM is used to provision all users to OID. I have also enabled the Checkbox Change on Reset in password policy.
I have also made certain attributes visible in OAM user manager such as obpasswordchageflag, oblastsuccesfullogin, oblastfaillogin etc.,
Once the user is created in OID through OIM, the values for attributes obpasswordchageflag, oblastsuccesfullogin, oblastfaillogin are empty.
Case1: obpasswordchangeflag attribute value is empty for user say oamtestuser. oamtestuser logs in to OAM protected application with default password provided in OIM. I could see the oblastsuccesfullogin attribute value updated in oamtestuser profile as expected. Similarly oblastfaillogin value also got updated for failed login as expected.
Case2: obpasswordchangeflag set to true manually in user profile for oamtestuser. oamtestuser logs into OAM protected application with default password. Upon submit, user is redirected the change password page which prompts the user to enter current password and new password. Upon submit user will be shown another page with backup button. Upon clicking back button, user is asked to login to the application once again with new password. Upon submit, user is shown change password page again instead of logging to application with new password. I have noticed that obpasswordchangeflag attribute value is still set as true.
Case3: After executing Case2, even after modifying the obpasschangeflag value to false or making empty, the attribute values of oblastsuccesfullogin and oblastfaillogin are not getting updated accordingly.
Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
This is really urgent. Would appreciate quick help.
Thanks.
Mahendra.

HI Sagar,
Thanks for the response.
Another major update: When we tried creating user using OAM workflow, the obpasswordchangeflag got true value by default and password change functionality worked as expected. So it is obviously an issue with provisioning user through OIM. We manually created an attribute obpasswordchangeflag and provisioned a new user with value as true but still the user profile in OAM User Manager for attribute obpasswordchangeflag is empty. This means that there needs to be some mapping which we are missing i.e., an attribute in OIM has to be mapped correctly with OID attribute obpasswordchangeflag .
So we are searching for this mapping stuff. Do you have any other opinion on this?
Thanks
Mahendra.

OAM 10g Reset Password Issue in Password Policy Management

Hi,
We are using OAM 10g and we have configured password policy for our application with selecting "Change on Reset" Check Box.
We have created new user in create user identity tab and when we are logging with new user for the first time, it is not redirecting to the reset password page.
Can someone shed light on this issue?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi Colin,
As you said, We have configured obpasswordchangeflag in Create User Workflow by setting the default value true.
We have created new user in create user tab and checked in LDAP Browser as it is showing obpasswordchangeflag =true in newly created user's profile.
Now, when we are trying to login with new user, it is still not redirecting to the Reset Password Page.
please find below the url which we have configured in Password Policy Change Redirect URL:
/identity/oblix/apps/lost_pwd_mgmt/bin/lost_pwd_mgmt.cgi?program=redirectforchangepwd&login=%loginid%%userid%&backURL=%HostTarget%%RESOURCE%&STLogin=%applySTLogin%&target=top&style=style1
Can you please help me on this issue?

Configuring Dictionary for password policy

Hi all,
I am trying to configure the dictionary for password checking. But it is showing me following error
XPRESS exception ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method queryString on class com.waveset.util.JdbcUtil ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: ==> java.sql.SQLException: Base table or view not found, message from server: "Table 'waveset.dictionary' doesn't exist".
It looks that it needs some table "dictionary" in waveset database.
But what will b the structure for that table???
Please suggest the solution to remove this error.
Thanks

Hi,
I have created the table using the script given in sample folder and configured the dictionary.
But now when i am trying to change the password it is giving following error
The password policy is configured to check passwords against a dictionary, but the dictionary is not configured.
Please suggest any idea to remove this error.

Problems Implementation Password Policy on OIM 9.1.0

Hello,,,
Please help me,
i was create password policy on OIM, i inject that pass policy to one of resource object, i create object form and process form with same configuration ( field table ), i use data flow to transmit the data between object form and process form..
i set process definition with check AUTO SAVE FORM, and AUTO PRE-POPULATE,
the Problems is :
1. When i try to do provisioning process ( with delegated admin : xelsysadm ) to that resource object (target system) , after admin submit , status process is provisioning, and the detail is System Validation : Pending
2. Then i try to remove password policy on resource object, and i try again to do the provisioning, and the process working fine, status process provisioned, detail process
system validation : completed, Create user : completed
why it'is happen ?
that the important point is, why AUTO SAVE FORM cannot working fine if i inject Password Policy on resource Object...
Warm regards,
Ricky R
Manila

When you say you have checked auto prepop means that there are pre pops attached to certain fields on your process form that you want to be auto triggered before provisioning commences. So i'm assuming that you are pre-populating password field. Is the password value that you are prepopping the field with conform to the standards of the password policy? If not that could be the reason why your provisioning process isnt getting kicked off. you will need to supply a password (either manually or if you want to automate it (pre pop it)) that coforms to the password policy defined on the resource object. Also i think the name of the password field must be _PASSWORD.

Set Password Policy For System Administrator Account in UCCE Servers

Hi All,
We want to setup a password policy ( expires in 30 days) for the local administrator account in all our UCCE servers.
We found that the all the UCCE services are running in local system account except logger and distributor( these services are running in domain user account).
Is it a supported configuration ? Are there any impacts with this setting ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Thanks and Regards,
Thammaya

Hi,
what is the UCCE (~ ICM) version? Is there OS hardening applied?
By the way, yes, if you mean the local "administrator" account, you can do whatever you want to do with it, provided you don't lock yourself out - this should not happen, naturally, having all ICM servers in the domain and you can always use the domain admin (or a user belonging to the domain admins group).
By the way, I don't really see the meaning of having a local administrator account being enabled. :-)

Setting Password Policy in Oracle 10g

Hi,
Could you guide me please? Up to date there has not been a Policy for passwords in our 10g Database which means the user can set anything for their password. We however now require to implement a Password Policy and would appreciate some guidance in doing this.
We don't use Enterprise Manager,we have chosen not to configure it on our system.
These are the steps I propose to take to set the password policy:
1. Edit $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql to change default profile values to desired values.
2. as SYS run utlpwdmg.sql
Is this correct? Is there anything else I should do?
thank you.

Hi,
I had a look at dba_profiles:
DEFAULT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION PASSWORD NULL
This suggests that the default profile is not using the function. It doesn't "suggest" it. That's exactly what it means. The default profile is not using a password verify function.
In the light of this, is it safe then to edit the function and the default profile will be unaffected? The profile cannot be affected by a change to a function that it does not reference.
I don't want to change the default profile. I plan to create another profile that will make use of the function and then apply it for the users
thanksthen proceed to do so. Why would you not want the function to be 'default' -- referenced by the default profile?
BTW, you can name that function anything you want. When you assign a password complexity function to a profile, you assign it by the name of the function. So you are not limited to the name used by the 'out of the box' script provided by oracle. You might want to name your own function something like MYCORP_PSWD_POLICY. And of course the name of the sql file where you keep the code can also be named anything you like, so you might want to name it accordingly. Just so you have a clear seperateion between your company's stuff and that provided by Oracle.

Issue with Lockout Duration in Password Policy in OAM

Hi,
We are facing an issue with the lockout duration configuration in the password policies in the identity manager interface for our OAM setup.
Oracle Access Manager 10g version 10.1.4
User/Policy Store: ADAM Ldap [Microsoft ADAM 2003]
After we lock out a user in our LDAP after 5 wrong attempts, the two attribute values in ADAM get updated to 5:
oblogintrycount
badPwdCount
Also I see that "oblockouttime" gets updated with an unix timestamp.
Now, we have set the "Lockout Duration" in the password policy as 1 hour. So, after 1 hour, the user should be unlocked in ADAM.
However, after 1 hour when the user tries to login, he/she gets the error that a wrong password has been entered for the userID.
When we check in ADAM, we see that the value of "oblogintrycount" was indeed reset. However the value of "badPwdCount" did not get reset and is still stuck at 5.
If we reset both these attribute values to 0, the user can login again.
Now, is OAM expected to reset both these attribute values to 0, or does it only reset the oblix attributes?
If it is the latter, is there a way around to resolve this issue? Or are we doing something wrong here?
Please let us know your feedback.
Thanks!
Abhishek.

OAM only works with the ob* attributes, and not with badPwdCount attribute of the AD (ADAM). I think for some reason the password and account policies of the AD is being triggerred. Disable the AD password policy and it will be Ok.
Hope this helps. Let us know.

Password policy not used by WebGate after upgrade (6.1 - 10g)

Hello,
Recently, we upgrade our environment from Oblix Netpoint 6.1 to Oracle Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
Together with this update we also upgraded the WebGates that are running on the machines that have OAM 10g installed. We did not perform an upgrade on the WebGates that are running on other web servers. These are still running with the old version.
The problem we have now is that it seems that our upgraded WebGates don't respect our Password policy. The earlier versions of our WebGate still respect our policy.
Machine A has OAM 10g installed with an upgraded WebGate (WebGate A). This machine also runs an IIS web server (web server A) which is connected to the WebGate on that machine. The WebGate is configured with OAM 10g on that same machine.
On web server A, there is a protected website.
Our password policy is defined as follow:
-number of login tries allowed: 5
-lockout duration: 20000000 hours
-login tries reset: 200 days
I now try to access my protected website on web server A with User1. Every time I enter a wrong password.
When I verify this in our Active Directory, I can see that the value of oblogintrycount for User1 increments until 5. When oblogintrycount equals 5, the attribute oblockouttime is added to the profile of User1.
My user is now supposed to be locked but when I try to login one more time, the value of oblogintrycount is 1 again and the attribute oblockouttime is gone. My user is unlocked again.
I repeat the same test on web server B that is installed on a different machine. This machine has an earlier version of WebGate installed. This WebGate B is configured with the same OAM 10g as WebGate A.
I can see in the Active Directory that the value of oblogintrycount for User1 is incremented until it equals 5. At this point, the oblockouttime attribute is added to the profile of User1.
I see now in my browser a message that my user is locked. When I try to login one more time, my user stays locked.
Has anyone an idea how this problem can be solved or how this can happen?
Kind regards,
Lennaart

This is just a trial and error suggestion may not actually solve the problem.
Can you check configuration changes that one has to make with upgraded web gates. That configuration may not be correct and hence you might be getting this problem.

802.1x, IP Phones, MAB and AD password policy

I am currently working on an 802.1x pilot. I have successfully deployed certificates for PCs and users and I'm able to assign VLAN etc in a reliable fashion.
I would like to enable MAC Authentication Bypass on the voice VLAN for IP phones. The problem is, when I create a user with the phones MAC address as a user name, or AD Domain policy does not allow the password to also be the mac address. Disabling this policy temporarily for adding these users is not a credible solution for us. I'd rather not use third party software that allows for diversity in AD password policy.
I've seen it implied that the switch (3560 in my case) can be configured to send the Radius secret rather than the device MAC address as the device's password, is this true? If so, how?
Thanks!

With MAC-Auth-Bypass, the end station (phone in your case) doesn't interact with the auth method at all. The switch authenticates the MAC after being learned by the switch on behalf of the end-station.
This is a limitation in Windows Server today. This can be controlled through a GPO in Server 2008. Another option(s) is to store the "phone user accounts" directly on the AAA server or another database that allows the ability for this.
Also, to authenticate a phone at all, and to support PCs, you need to configure Multi-Domain-Authentication (MDA) on the 3560. See here:
<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk814/technologies_configuration_example09186a00808abf2d.shtml#MDA>
