Creating a new Password Policy

I am running a Windows 2012 Datacenter domain with Exchange 2013 as a member server. 100% of my users are Outlook Anywhere or OWA users that only use email, so they do not login to the domain on their PC's. I want to create a User password policy and
apply it to specific OU's to force users to change their passwords every 180 days. But I see two issues. One is the Default Domain Policy that is applied to the entire domain, and the other is that it appears that you can only apply a password
policy to a system and not a user.
Does anyone have any guidance or advise. TIA
Larry

I believe what you're looking for is a fine-grained password policy.
Step1 - Create the Policy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754461(v=ws.10).aspx Of these options, I recommend using ADSI
Step2 -Linking the Policy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731589(v=ws.10).aspx Of these options, I recommend using AD Users & Computers
Hope this helps.

DSCC displays login page when creating a new password policy

Hi, I am new to ODSEE but not new to DS\LDAP :) I have version 11.1.1.5.0 running on tomcat 7.0.26 (on RHEL 5.6 with Java v1.6.0_25-b06). When I click on the password policies tab I get a grey pop-up saying "readwrite" and an OK button. When I click OK the popup goes away and I can then create a new policy. In the "Enter Name, Description and Location" page I enter in all the requisite values and click Next. Then I get the authentication page.
I dont beleive this is normal :) any ideas on what may be going wrong?

What is the new password policy?

What is your new password policy? All you state on the page where it forces us to change without being able to continue is a meter that says whether its strong enough. How about actually stating what the requirements are on that page? Even when clicking on the Password Help link, it doesn’t state what the requirements are. This can be very frustrating to users trying to create a password model.
After toying around with some passwords, I am guessing it is just like 12 characters regardless of whether they are upper/lower case, numbers, or special characters. This policy is really lacking for any type of real security measure.

Hello tmanXX,
Internet security is a topic of much importance and discussion these days. In order to ensure that you and our other customers have the most enjoyable and secure experience, we recently established new requirements for passwords on BestBuy.com. Even so, you ask very good questions about the standards that we have established.
When changing your password on our website, we have a visual indicator to verify your password strength against our criteria. We recommend a variety of letters (upper and lower case), numerals, and symbols deployed randomly for best results. Our standards are not published to add a further obstacle to those who might try to use such information with ill intent. I apologize for any aggravation that you may have endured as a result.
Please know that I'm grateful for your feedback on our password standards and that you took the time to pose your questions and concerns.
Sincerely,

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:

I am trying to install a Canon Pixma MG8220 which requires my Airport Extreme password. I do no know it. I then went to default Airport settings and renamed my network, but Airport required my password. How do I create a new password?

How do I create a new password for my Airport Extreme if I do not know the old password?

If you have the Mac that you used to configure the AirPort Extreme originally, you may be able to retrieve the password from KeyChain Access.
See this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:
AirPort - Regain Access from Forgotten Passwords
If still no luck, you can reset the passwords again. Pay very close attention to the information about a Soft Reset in this Apple support document:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ

How do you allow a user to create a new password?

The way i have it set up right now the users are registered by the admin and a random password is provided for them to log in. When they login they're instructed to create a new password.
They click to update their information. Included in this form is an "Old Password" field and a "New Password" field. They can choose if they want to create a new one or not. So I don't want to make it a requirement.
1 - How do I validate the old password.
2 - When they type the new password and submit the update info form. It inserts the new record over the old. But only after confirming that that old password is correct. How is this done?
Or should they just type in a new password with no validation that they know the old. ? Hm.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi frunsel,
if the user choose a name where already exist, the error throws out, but it clears all the register fields (all the users entrys, and i have a few fields)
humm, that´s not cool -- however...
how can i prevent this?
In this case I suggest providing a separate "check username availabilty" procedure in a blank window
(or a popup window, if you prefer) which ...
a) on page 1 has a form with one "check_username" text field, and on...
b) page 2 queries the login table´s "username" column against the textfield´s value and returns "username available" when no matching records were found, respectively "username already allocated" in case of a match.
That´s something I´d do without using ADDT, means DW´s native database related functionality are absolutely sufficient for such simple stuff

How to add new password policy to cn=config via LDIF file

I am trying to add a new password policy called "Service Password Policy". I have the following LDIF file:

objectClass: passwordPolicy
cn: Service Password Policy
description: A password policy intended for proxy or service accounts.

passwordRootdnMayBypassModsChecks: off
passwordStorageScheme: ssha

passwordMaxFailure: 32700
passwordUnlock: on
I've tried various permutations of this command:
dsconf import -h localhost -p 1389 /root/createServicePasswordPolicy.ldif "cn=Service Password Policy,cn=config"
I get this error:
"cn=config": suffix does not exist.
The "import" operation failed on "localhost:1389".
Thx for any help,
CC

Good it did not work or you would have overwritten all the data currently in cn=config. Anyway, "dsconf import" only works on regular backends. The cn=config tree is special a.
You should use ldapmodify to add the contents to cn=config.
$ ldapmodify -p 1389 -D cn=root -f a.ldif -a

Adding new password policy rules

Can you add new password policy rules in OID 902?
I wish to prevent users from entering a new password that matches their previous 5 passwords.
Can this be done at all?
Regards,
John

We recently put in a password policy that makes everyone change it every 90 days. This last week was the first time everyone's had to update their password, and we ran into a few issues.We've got over 150 users so I don't know if it's user error or what, but I've had half a dozen people over the last couple days say that they changed their password, and now they can't log into the computer. I end up resetting it for them, and then they're good to go again. I feel like maybe they aren't remembering what they set their password to.Also, another half dozen people so far have complained that their phones aren't syncing mail after changing their password. They said they put the new password into their phone, so it should just keep going... but nothing. Some are fixed by removing the profile and re-adding, others I have to go and delete...

New password policy causing major headaches

So I was watching a Tedx youtube video the other day that was all about memory.To sum it up, if you create a policy for password (in this case) send out a email to the company about how to make passwords fun. Include a collage of random pictures to help users create new passwords.Collage list from GoogleFun items are much much much easier to remember.So if I had to make a new password as a user, I'd create something fun with the collage and generate a password from that.

How can i create a new password?

I forgot my password, how can i create a new one?

On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

Implement new password policy

Long story short, inherited an existing domain that has this below in place for their password policy. I really need to get them into alignment with us, so I need to change this policy to the second one below. But I know if just went and changed
those settings, every user(there are only about 30 users) would get prompted to change their password the next time they logged in. The domain is 2003, so I know that fine grain is not an option. Is there anything I can do to lessen the blow,
maybe some kind of script that changes the password last set or something like that?? I went and looked at the attribute on a few of these users, they haven't been set in about 8 years.
Enforce password history   0 passwords remembered
Maximum password age   0 days
Minimum password age   0 days
Minimum password length   4 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements   Disabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
Enforce password history   10 passwords remembered
Maximum password age 60 days
Minimum password age    1 days
Minimum password length   8 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements   Enabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption   Disabled

"Lessen the blow" ??
Do you mean for you (the admin who would need to deal with lockouts/resets)?
Or do you mean for the 30 users ?
I'd suggest that you try to implement in as few steps as possible. In my experience, progressively enabling password policy settings can be very confusing for end-users, when done in several phases.
Keep it to two phases, is my advice.
1) enable everything except aging/expiry
2) encourage/warn your users that new criteria are in place (length, strength, etc)
3) encourage your users to manually perform password change. This familiarises them with the length/strength requirements, and, you'll get them doing it at slightly different times, allowing them, and you, to handle the volume of assistance calls.
4) enable aging after a few days or two weeks. This means that users who have opted-in early, will only need to deal with the expiry window in ~60 days, and will have been through it recently, and so will be familiar.
Those users who didn't opt-in early via manual password change, will be hit with a forced-change and all-new length/strength concepts to deal with all at once. And you'll get calls from those people, because the Windows password policy dialogs/messages are
quite awful.
Also, consider the impact of your existing (or proposed) account lockout settings.
If these users are technically-savvy (eg are software developers or whatever), they may have many logon sessions running, many devices with cached accounts, etc - this can cause a spike in your account-lockouts, and users who haven't changed passwords in a
long time, often have many cached/saved/stored/concurrent sessions.
We have around 1000 calls at helpdesk for password resets/unlocks per week in our estate. We do have a self-service password reset service. We still get calls. We introduced similar password policies to you, more than 10 years ago. It still causes hellish
Monday spikes in reset/unlock calls.
sigh.

I upgraded to mountain lion and created a new password. I cannot access pages which I purchased using my old id and password. what do I do?

My hard drive crashed and I took it in to an Apple store. It was fixed and all data was erased including the program pages which I purchased. I created a new user name and password. Is there any way to recover Pages or do I have to purchase it again?

Apps can only be reinstalled for free using the same Apple ID they were originally associated with.
You need to re purchase Pages using the new Apple ID and password.
