DS5.0 and password policy
When i choose password to be expired (passwordexpirationtime attribute then is 19700101000000Z) and when i want to log in to the directory using the Server Gateway, i am asked to change my password (Your Directory Server password has expired. You must change your password immediately). But the password expirationtime is not changed and i can't log in to the directory. What can i do ?
Which version of Directory Server ?
As the Directory Manager, you can remove or change the passwordExpirationTime attribute in the user entry, provided you're absolutely sure that the password is now correct...

Simple way to enable login default failure audit is Right Click On SQL server instance in SQL Server management studio and select Properties then below page will occur. There are 2 options in Login auditing select appropriate one
for enabling policy please refer below links

GW-WebAccess and Password Policy
I am wanting to have a password expiration policy that will force new users to change passwords when they first login. I integrate with eDir and am wondering how GroupWise handles password expiration events. Will the end user be prompted to change the password with a redirect to the password change page?
I work for a school system and have some employee's that never log into a workstation in-district but only interacts with my system via GroupWise Client or Webaccess.
Thanks
RichardHi Richard,
Further to my comments above, your LDAP authentication must be set to BIND and not COMPARE in order for password policies to apply.
Below is an excerpt from the documentation:
84.3.1 Access Method
On a server-by-server basis (ConsoleOne > Tools > GroupWise System Operations > LDAP Servers), you can specify whether you want each LDAP server to respond to authentication requests using a bind or a compare.
Bind: With a bind, the POA essentially logs in to the LDAP server. When responding to a bind request, most LDAP servers enforce password policies such as grace logins and intruder lockout, if such policies have been implemented by the LDAP directory.
Compare: With a compare, the POA provides the user password to the LDAP server. When responding to a compare request, the LDAP server compares the password provided by the POA with the users password in the LDAP directory, and returns the results of the comparison. Using a compare connection can provide faster access because there is typically less overhead involved because password policies are not being enforced.
Hope that this information is useful to you.

OS X Server OD & Password Policy
Here's a question for someone that has experience with OD, network accounts and password policy.
All on 10.9 with the latest updates, there’s a Mac Mini OD Master offering DNS, File Sharing, Mail, Contacts, Calendar and another Mac Mini OD Replica. A total of 20 Macs binded to OD and using Network Accounts. Everything seems to be working fine but they have an OD Global Password Policy as follows:
- Passwords must:
- differ from account name
- contain at least one letter
- contain both uppercase and lowercase letters
- contain at least one numeric character
- contain at least 8 characters
- differ from last 3 passwords used
- be reset every 45 days
Everything is relatively working fine except for the Password Policy because of the following:
- Users are not getting any prompt about their password coming to expire
- When the user’s password expires and since they are not getting any warning, users suddenly get no access to services
- Some users are unable to successfully modify their password, they get prompted to change it and when entering the new password (when logging in through AFP), it shakes even though the new password complies with the Password Policy and the only way to get them logged in is by manually resetting the user’s password with the Server App.
Ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.thx - solved.

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.

ODSEE11g / DSEE7 Password Policy from DS6 Mode back to DS5 compatible mode
Hello all,
I am currently working on a migration from DSEE7 to OUD(Oracle Unified Directory). Oracle's documentation states that to do this migration, you will need to be running in DS6 mode. I made that change.
dsconf pwd-compat to-DS6-migration-mode
then
dsconf pwd-compat to-DS6-mode
I have discovered that if you want to go from DSEE7 to OUD, you actually need to be in DS5 compatible mode. There is a bug in OUD replication gateway that creates a password policy using DS5.
How would you revert from DS6mode to DS5 compatible mode?
I have tried to run the commands backward and that was not successful.
Regards,
NikeshHello Nikesh,
You are right, it is not possible to revert to the original "ds5.2" password policy mode.
The documentation is right.
The ds2oud tools used to migrate the configuration and schema to OUD requires the ds6 password policy mode.
Unfortunatelly, in 11.1.1.5.0, the replication gateway setup creates a password policy in 'ds5.2' mode which is refused by a server running in ds6 mode.
I see 2 options here :
- contact your Oracle support representative to get a patch
- redeploy a fresh temp DSEE 11gR1 master server (by default in ds5.2 password policy mode), enable replication but dont create any replication agreement, run the replication gateway setup between that server and the OUD instance, then switch to ds6migration and ds6mode. At that stage the odsee config contains a few entries that would need to be copied manually to your original DSEE server.
Please tell me the preferred option as the description of the workaround would require a detailed post.
Hope this helps

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>

Hi Pro,
I have an OD domain (10.9.1 server) with 20 users mobile account (10.9.1 osx) authentification, I’d like to enable a global password policy, and I'm curious what actually happens when I add some policy in Server Admin > Open Directory > gear > edit global password policy?
If I set a "reset every 45 days" option, is that from the time the policy is enabled, or from the time the user account was created?
Any issue with Keychain ?
If I set a "must have one letter" or "numeric character", etc...and the user doesn't currently have a password that matches this criteria, will they be forced to set a new password immediately, or the next time one is initiated, did the account will be disable?
I just trying to prevent any bad experience for the users.
ThanksHi,
The 45 days will start from the moment you enable that setting for all active users, and will start whenever you create a new OD user.
There won't be any issues with Keychain, it will updated when a new password is set. On that specific day when they login or restart, they need to choose a new password. Keychain will update automatically.
The new policy will start working after the 45 days have been set. After 45 days that policy will be enforced, not before, users can continue to work with a less secure password. About 10 days before that deadline or earlier they will get an option in their login screen to renew their password because it will inform them it will expire soon.
You might want to notify all users of a new password policy when you set it and then inform them again about a week before it will expire. That will ensure a smooth transition...
Goodluck!

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 passwordsHi,
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.

So we have a password policy that automatically locks accounts on 3 attempts.
When OEM sends a saved preferred credential to a database. it looks like it has several attempt before it prompts you via the login panel for the credentials.
By the time you reach the login panel the account is already locked because it looks like OEM has had several attempts against the database already.
So what we have is a situation where our password policy is out of sync with what OEM v 10 expects.
The only way it works is if the DBA unlocks the account prior to my hitting login from the login screen.
This is all because I've had to change my password ever 60 days and OEM has remembered my old password which now is no longer valid against the
target database.
Thoughts?If preferred credentials are specified, OEM uses those credentials and checks if the login can be performed with those credentials. But, if the saved preferred credentials are different from what the database is configured, we will run into the max_failed_attempts usecase.
The same preferred credentials will be used by background jobs and so if the password is changed on the database without updating the preferred credentials, the account could be locked out quickly if there are any background jobs.
Also, OEM provides command line scripts (emcli update_db_password) that can be used to update the password in the database as well as update the preferred credentials with the same password, which is the recommeded way to change password when they are used in preferred credentials. -
Is the directory manager restricted by password and account policy?
Is the directory manager account affected by the password/account policy set? Like will its password ever expires or if I fail to authenticate for the max tries, will I be locked out too?
Also, for the account policy, there's this fail counter that records the number of failures authenticating by the user, how could I obtain the values of this counter so that I could inform the user how many attempts he has left?Password and account policy do not apply to the directory manager.
The attribute which stores the bind attempts is passwordRetryCount. This is an operational attribute so you must ask for it in your list of attributes sent with the search request. -
Password Policy - Mixed servers 2003 and 2008
I Need help!!!!
So this is my situation. I'm trying to enforce a Company Wide Password Policy via GPO but running into problems. We have no current Password Policy in place (This is the only one). I'm attempting to use the default global policy in Server 2008 and I'm
testing the GPO on a specific security group, but does not seem to work. It will prompt to change the password, but the other requirements aren't being enforced.
This is what I'm trying to enforce.
Expire after: 90 days
Complexity: Enabled
Cant reuse last: 12 password
Lockout time: 15 minutes
Lock out after: 5 attempts
Minimum of :8 characters
Infrastructure: We have a mix of 2003 and 2008 servers. I'm using our 2008 server to enforce the GPO.
Once I apply the GPO to a specific security group, it will prompt to change the password for the users in that group, but will not enforce all the other policies. This is a major project and we cant deploy this policy all at once (Helpdesk wouldn't
be able to handle the call volume) so we decided to deploy it by departments/Security groups. We also tried
We also tried using a fine-grained password policy but just like the GPO, it was only enforcing the password change aspect and not the other requirements like a minimum of 8 characters. Can any help!!!!> What if I apply the GPO on the domain root level, and then in the

No. Read again - in 2003, there is ONE password policy for the DOMAIN,
not for individual accounts.
Technically this works the following way: Password policies are picked
up by every member computer. But on these, password policies only apply
to LOCAL accounts, not to domain accounts.
On the other hand, there are Domain Controllers. The PDC emulator is the
only one of these that will pick up Password policies - and only if they
are linked to the domain. And so, these apply to all "local" accounts on
the PDC, which in fact are the domain accounts.

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

Linux and Solaris Clients with password policy using LDAP
Anybody managed to get Linux (RHEL) and Solaris 9 Client authenticate against Sun Directory Server 5.2p4 using the same password policy?
For me it looks like Linux needs attribute shadowlastchanged set to display proper Warnings, that the password will expire/needs to be changed now. On the other hand Solaris (using pam_ldap) never writes this attribute, because it's using the password policy attribute pwdchangedtime.
Hints very wellcome!
Can anybody confirm Solaris9 pam_unix still sets this shadow* attributes correct on any password change executed by a user?Hi Jeremy,
here the answers to your questions:
>My question is which system takes precedence over the password policy?
Unfortunately there is no policy verification between the portal and your Sun One LDAP. So if you reset the password from the portal then only the portal password policies can be checked.
> If I wanted to do password resets from the Portal, does the portal then store only the password in its database?
No, the password will be stored in the LDAP, but only if it also corresponds with the LDAP policies. If not, then you will get an error, but you will not see the real LDAP exception.
> Also what would then happen if you tried to reset the password from the LDAP?
The password in the LDAP does not have to fit to the Portal password policies. When you log in, the portal will only check if the password you tipped in is the new one in LDAP and will not check any policies.
Hope this brings some light in,

DS 6.2 and password expiration
Hello,
I'm having problems enforcing password expiration with DSEE. We have two Solaris 10 DSEE 6.2 servers configured with multi-master replication. The clients are running Solaris 8 (117350-47 Jun 2007 kernel patch level), and are using pam_ldap authentication.
Using either telnet (just as a test) or ssh to login, I don't receive warnings of password expiration, nor is the account locked after passwordExpirationTime is exceeded.
As an example, I can still authenticate as a user with this passwordExpirationTime:
passwordExpirationTime=20071123163438Z
The following is our DSEE password policy:
pwd-accept-hashed-pwd-enabled : off
pwd-check-enabled : on
pwd-compat-mode : DS6-mode
pwd-expire-no-warning-enabled : on
pwd-expire-warning-delay : 4w
pwd-failure-count-interval : 10m
pwd-grace-login-limit : disabled
pwd-keep-last-auth-time-enabled : on
pwd-lockout-duration : disabled
pwd-lockout-enabled : on
pwd-lockout-repl-priority-enabled : on
pwd-max-age : 12w6d
pwd-max-failure-count : 4
pwd-max-history-count : 3
pwd-min-age : 1w
pwd-min-length : 6
pwd-mod-gen-length : 6
pwd-must-change-enabled : off
pwd-root-dn-bypass-enabled : off
pwd-safe-modify-enabled : off
pwd-storage-scheme : SSHA
pwd-strong-check-dictionary-path : /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/plugins/words-english-big.txt
pwd-strong-check-enabled : on
pwd-strong-check-require-charset : any-three
pwd-supported-storage-scheme : CRYPT
pwd-supported-storage-scheme : SHA
pwd-supported-storage-scheme : SSHA
pwd-supported-storage-scheme : NS-MTA-MD5
pwd-supported-storage-scheme : CLEAR
pwd-user-change-enabled : on
Am I missing something obvious in the DSEE password policy? Would any other information be helpful in troubleshooting, such as /etc/pam.conf, patch levels of other packages, etc.?
Thanks!If your DS6 instance is in DS5-compatible-mode (see above references), passwordExpirationTime is not ignored; however, please note that modifying server operational attributes via protocol has never been supported.
A supported way to force a user to change his or her password (without administratively resetting the password) would be to define a specialized password policy with a small max-age value (but maintaining the relationship pwdMinAge+pwdExpireWarning<pwdMaxAge), and use Roles/CoS to scope the policy to the user entry that requires a password change, but for which the password has not yet been changed. A value of pwdChangedTime in the past (or its absence from the entry) would indicate that the password had not yet been changed as requested. If the DS6 instance is in DS5-compatible-mode, you will need to enable grace logins via passwordWarning in the policy, while if the DS6 instance is in DS6-migration-mode or DS6-mode, you will also need to enable grace logins via pwdGraceAuthNLimit in the policy. Otherwise, the user cannot bind with an expired password.
OpenDS includes a "must-change-by" feature in the password policy that simplifies configuring the specialized password policy, but I'm not aware of any plans to add this feature to DS6.
