Custom Password Policy Settings

Hello Friends,
I am doing the server practical in virtual environment and wish to set a normal password for the test user "Robert Garcia"  so I disabled the password policy requirement in the gpmc.msc under "Default Domain Policy" and then did a gpupdate
so that I can set a password as garcia for the user robert but it did not work. I did a system reboot then also it did not work.
I did the same thing for the Default Domains Controller Policy option and still it is not working .
What should be the correct method to disable this as I am in a test environment and simply want to keep simple passwords. Is there any requirement for system reboot or gpupdate should work and what could be the reason here that it is not working in either of
the case??
Thanks
I noticed that I can't set a number as a password say 65789867 but when I disable the things in default domain policy then I can set the password  but still not the simple text garcia so what I need to edit and where now.
Also if I need to enable a password policy like the first letter should be capital etc etc then where I can do this customization of password policy
I can set a normal text as password but not the user's last name as password where I can change this customization. I understand that in production environment its not suggested but just in case where to do the customization??
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
In my testing environment, gpupdate is enough to make the policy changes taking effects.
Here are a few suggestions for you:
Please make sure that the Default Domain Policy is
link enabled.
Other than the Password must meet complexity requirements setting, please also disable other ones like Enforce password history, Minimum password length.
If there is any password policy setting set as
Not Defined in Default Domain Policy, please check password policy from
Local Security Policy, in which settings could override the Not Defined ones.
>if I need to enable a password policy like the first letter should be capital etc etc then where I can do this customization of password policy
You may need to develop scripts to achieve this goal.

  • Custom Password Policy

    Hi xperts,
    I want to create a custom password policy which shoud fulfil the following requirements.
    1Allow additional alpha characters more other than A-Z and a-z. i.e the ones in Start button--->Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map.
    2.Expand the default special characters list
    3 and we dont want email prefix(before @ to be used in the password).
    Any Ideas if we can do this ?

    You can put your validation using Java Script on Create User Form.----this can fulfil my 3rd requirement.
    or
    you can create custom action class which will validate your password. Change the reference of OLD action class and replace it with yours.
    I am a little new to sucg kind of customisations,can u just give me a little idea how exactly I can go about it..i.e which files to modify,which action class etc...
    Also I want this password policy for a group of users and if I modify the action class will there be an effect on the policies associated with other resources?

  • Custom Password policy for ProxyAgent

    Solaris 10 Server Directory Server LDAP 6.3. Clients are Solaris 10.
    The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have my service accounts expiring...
    How do you create a custom filter with NO account lockout, expiration, etc? The DSCC wizard doesn't allow you to as the last step of the wizard must have a bug because even though you don't click the Lockout radio button, the webpage asks you to fill in a number for account lockout of 1 to 32768. Ugggh.
    Question 2: how do you apply a custom password policy to ALL of ou=people? I can do it one by one to dn's under the ou=people, but I want it on the parent so new users get the custom password policy. Everything I try, the Global Password Policy wins. (And can't seem to be done via the DSCC but rather through command line)
    Help.

    The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password
    policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have
    my service accounts expiring...Password policies have to be applied to individual accounts (manually or via CoS). So you
    may need to create a new password policy and assign it to the proxyagent user. Since DSCC
    does not seem to allow you to do that, best to munge it via the commandline (after specifying
    the lockout in dscc). Yes, it's ugly but a bug has been logged. Please contact Sun Support if
    you want a fix against 6.3 (quote the above bug number)

  • Introducing a custom Password policy to expire passwords. odsee 11g - what are the expected results

    We have left the default Password Policy untouched. As a default password aging is off. Our DS compatibility mode is now DS6 so we can add Password Policies with max age!
    Some users need to have their passwords changed regularly due to political reasons.
    We have introduced a custom Password Policy which has a pwd_Max_age value of 180 days and allows the user to Change Password. Entry is cn=Custom Pwd Policy for ABC,dc=mycorp,dc=com
    Ok. Now we get confused by the behaviour of this ODSEE 11g server. Now, we are ADDING a new custom Password Policy to just a few selected users!
    1. When we add the Policy to the user by setting the passwordpolicysubentry attribute = "cn=Custom Pwd Policy for ABC,dc=mycorp,dc=com"
    - Nothing seems to happen.
    - WHEN IS THE PASSWORD EXPIRED?
    2. After we change a password for a user who has the passwordpolicysubentry attribute, he gains a new attribute pwdChangedTime
    - IS THIS THE ONLY TIME THE EXPIRY CLOCK STARTS TICKING? *AFTER* THE PASSWORD IS CHANGED?
    3. Is it true, that if a user never changes his password, even if he gets the new custom password policy applied, his password never automatically expires????
    I just cannot work out what is supposed to happen. I would have hoped that at the very least, the password begins to expires as soon as he gets a Password Policy with pwd_Max_age set.
    How is ODSEE 11g designed/supposed to function.
    Help!!!!!
    *HH

    Sylvain ,Many thanks for your reply and suggestions. Always good to have a choice!
    So it seems the only way to get the password aging clock to tick is for the password to be changed after having the password policy applied.
    Option1 is not really an option although it certainly would make the users change the password and set up the password aging...
    The main difficulty with odsee 11g  (Version 11.1.1.7.0) is that pwdChangedTime is a system read-only attribute linked to a modification to userPassword attribute, I cannot use ldapmodify to add/modify the pwdChangedTime attribute.
    I was amazed that I can read/store the userpassword as the base64 string and replace the userpassword attribute with this value using ldapmodify. This is very easy (and works!) but will cause the pwdChangedTime attribute to contain the same time for all users. I can imagine helpdesk loving it when everyone calls them in 6 months time.
    Using the LDIF backup/restore utility looks the best option, if it succeeds. At least we can randomize the actual value of pwdChangedTime with this approach.

  • Regular Expression in Custom Password Policy

    I have a requirement for the password policy in OIM to enforce "1 numeric OR 1 special character". The only way I could think of doing it is if OIM Password Policy rules allowed a regular expression allowing any one of special characters or numbers. Is this possible? If not, is there a way of enforcing this rule? As far as I can tell, there is no way to "OR" different rules together, like "Mininum Numeric Characters: 1 OR Minimum Special Characters: 1".

  • 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?
    spnewbie

    To 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.

  • Assignment of custom password policies

    In the documentation is well described how to assign a custom password policy using Roles and CoS. This technique is fairly flexible and can be applied to a number of situations. I have the fear that this is very costly in terms of performance.
    Are there simpler ways to assign a password policy to all objects in a container?
    Thank you,
    Jo

    We just did this same thing in one of our instances and have not seen any CPU usage increase, but it's a very small instance (only about 10,000 entries.
    We just applied the password policy to all objects in the ou using the following template & COS
    # Template user for Class of Service
    dn: cn=AgencyTemplate,ou=agencies,o=company
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: extensibleObject
    objectClass: costemplate
    objectClass: ldapsubentry
    cosPriority: 1
    passwordPolicySubentry: cn=Agency Password Policy,o=company
    cn: AgencyTemplate
    # The COS to apply the policy to all agency users (ou=agencies,o=company)
    dn: cn=AgcyPwdPol_cosDefinition,ou=agencies,o=company

  • Password policy for 2003

    Experts,
    We have windows server 2003 domain functional level and password policy is defined in Default domain policy. Now our password policy does not have Max pswd age and min pswd age settings defined. So we want to test these settings.
    I created a new GPO and just defined those two policies and linked it to a test OU. Moved the required computer to that OU. I read computer should be in that OU and not the user. It is not getting applied. I have two questions:
    1. Even those two settings are not defined in default password policy, can we create a separate policy for that? or all password policy settings has to be defined in 1 GPO?
    2. OU where we want to test this password policy, should have computer, user or both in that OU?
    Appreciate any help!!!!

    Hello,
    password and account lockout settings MUST be configured on domain level. On OU it has not any effect for domain users logging on to domain machines. 3rd party tools may still exist that provide that option.
    For additional settings you need Windows Server 2008 or higher then you can use Fine grained password policy settings for security groups and user accounts.

  • Password Policy on Directory Server 11.1.1.7.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up a password policy with DS 11.1.1.7.2 but it doesn't seem to be getting applied to the users. I went through the DSCC gui and created a new policy that is supposed to remember the last 3 passwords and also expire in a couple days just for test purposes. I then set the compatibility mode to Directory Server 6 and clicked on "Assign Policy" and selected ou=people,o=xxxxxx,o=isp where my test accounts are.
    I've then tried using ldapmodify using the credentials to the accounts who's passwords I'm changing and it allows me to reuse the same passwords. I saw something about using a virtual attribute for assigning users to a policy. Is that required also?
    dn: cn=TestPWpolicy1,o=xxxxxxx,o=isp

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    A user entry references a custom password policy through the value of the operational attribute pwdPolicySubentry. When referenced by a user entry, a custom password policy overrides the default password policy for the instance.
    It is unclear to me whether you want to assign the new password policy to an individual account or to every user in ou=people,o=xxxx,o=isp.
    To assign a password policy to an individual account, just ddd the password policy DN to the values of the pwdPolicySubentry attribute of the user entry e.g.
    $ cat pwp.ldif
    dn: uid=dmiller,ou=people,o=xxxxxxx,o=isp
    changetype: modify
    add: pwdPolicySubentry
    pwdPolicySubentry: cn=TestPWpolicy1,o=xxxxxxx,o=isp
    $ ldapmodify -D cn=directory\ manager -w - -f pwp.ldif
    Enter bind password:
    modifying entry uid=dmiller,ou=people,o=xxxxxxx,o=isp
    $ ldapsearch -D cn=directory\ manager -w - -b dc=xxxxxxx,o=isp \
    "(uid=dmiller)" pwdPolicySubentry
    Enter bind password:
    version: 1
    dn: uid=dmiller, ou=People, o=xxxxxxx,o=isp
    pwdPolicySubentry: cn=TestPWpolicy1,o=xxxxxxx,o=isp
    $
    See Directory Server Password Policy - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
    You can also assign a password policy to a set of users using cos/roles virtual attributes as described in section 8.3.4 at Directory Server Password Policy - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)

  • 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.

  • "other password policy" preventing login

    In trying to set up a network account, once I've entered the password and hit OK, I get the error msg: Unable to enable login due to other password policy.    This leaves the account in the "Disabled" status.  I've been all through all the places where I can think would relate to password policy and can't find any issue.  Local accounts are set up and working fine.  Any experience with this "other password policy" would be appreciated.   It just can't be that hard!
    Thanks a bunch.

    I'm having the same problem. One of my users is disabled, and ik can't re-enable him due to the error:
    Unable to enable login due to other password policy settings.
    And I'm 100% sure the password adhere's to the password policy.

  • Disabling OID Password Policy

    Hi,
    I had a problem of OID password expiry due to the default password policy expiry of 60 days. I resolved the issue using oidpwd utility and using Oracle Directory Manager (ODM). Now I want to change the password policy settings. Here I've a doubt that
    ,instead of changing the policy whether is it possible to disable the password policy. I found one option in the ODM->Password Policy management' --> Cn=PWDPolicyEntry , in the General tab, Password Policy ENABLE/DISABLE in a list box.
    Could anyone please explain what would happen if i select 'DISABLE' to disable the password Policy?

    Post in the OID forum... the lads there will help you.

  • 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
