DSEE 6.3.1 password policy issue

We're rolling out a network wide password policy on both our LDAP and AD environments. The two are synchronized using Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0. Today, in my test environment I enabled the password policies that we plan to implement. Since we never had any 5.x directory servers, I set the password policy mode to be Directory Server 6 mode. After configuring everything I tried changing a users password in the AD domain and ISW picked up the change however the following error showed up in the ISW audit log:
[16/Feb/2011:16:56:03.957 -0500] FINE 18 CNN100 beer-ds01 "LDAP operation on entry uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=beer,dc=com failed at ldaps://beer-ds01.lab.endeca.com:636, error(53): LDAP server is unwilling to perform ((Password Policy: modify policy entry) "objectClass=passwordPolicy" is not supported in pwdCompat:4 (DS6-mode).)." (Action ID=CNN101-12E30785AA8-1, SN=7)When I then tried the same password change directly against the directory server using ldapmodify, I saw the same error:
# ldapmodify -D 'cn=directory manager' -w endeca123

pwdIsLockoutPrioritized: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1800I'm at a complete loss as to what causing this problem and am not sure what steps to take to figure out how to fix it. Can anyone offer some help?

It turns out that when I setup the ISW install I, for a reason that now I cannot comprehend nor remember, added the passwordPolicy objectclass to the auxillary objectclasses used when created a new user. Since that objectclass is a 5.x objectclass my problems started when I moved to pwd-compat DS6-mode. I was able to restore my test systems from a backup, remove the objectclass from the ISW config and then proceed with the password policy rollout which worked fine this time around. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

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.

Any issue and/or advice with activation of global password policy (10.9 osx server) ?

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.
Thanks

Hi,
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!

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?

Password Policy with DSCC (DSEE)

Hi all,
I am creating security policies with the interface DSCC (Directory service control center).
In Password Policies there are two types of policies (Global / Built in)
properties of these policies are in ldap
Global
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=Password Policy,cn=config" objectclass=*
Built-in
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=Password Policy,cn=replication manager,cn=replication,cn=config" objectclass=*
But, if I create a new policy under cn = PolicyTemp,dc = example, dc = cl, you can not find it by querying ldap?
it does not deliver results
ldapsearch -x D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=PolicyTemp,dc=example,dc=cl" objectclass=*

Hi,
I found the answer, the LDAP query is :
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "dc=example,dc=cl" "(&(objectclass=ldapsubentry)(cn=TempPolicy))"
Thanks

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

Windows 8.1 Password Complexity issue

Hi All,
We are running an AD Domain based on Server 2008 R2 and all of our Clients are Windows 8.1 with all of the latest security patches installed (last WSUS updates at 10-09-14)
I am having an issues getting the Password must meet complexity requirements
setting to work.
I have applied it both at the Default Domain Policy Level and created another GPO that specifically Enables this option but it still won't work, the strange thing is that all the other password policy settings are working just fine.
When running rsop.msc on my machine I can verify that the GPO settings have applied and the password complexity requirement is set to Enabled.
As I mentioned before, the Password length requirement is working, I tried changing my password to cat and got the message that it did not meet requirements but i could change it to catcat which obviously doesn't meet password complexity requirements but
does meet the 6 character length minimum that we have set.
The even stranger thing is that this was working about 2 weeks ago when we first enabled it, I tested it and all was working as it should so does anyone know if any of this months Windows or Server updates that come down in WSUS have broken or changed the
way this setting worked?
*** I tried to post some pictures to show what i have set but i get the message Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account so apologies for the lack of images showing what i have done.

To check PW policies in a domain, run rsop on the PDC emulator. That's
the only domain controller in the domain that will apply password
policies to doimain accounts.

How to search for password policy

Hello,
Using DS 5.2:
I've created a test policy, dn: cn=Test Policy,ou=People, o=xxx, o=isp. I can apply the policy, I can see the policy in my backup ldifs, but I can't figure out how to search for and display it (and eventually, delete it) either from the command line using ldapsearch or form within the admin gui. Any help?

What I would like to do is query my 8i instance for the current password policy
Can anyone provide a query to retrieve this info?connect as sys
in Oracle 8i and issue the command;
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%PASS%';
and
select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like '%POLICY%';
I think , i'm not sure these policies would be transfered to 10g through migration except -if any- some of them are obsolete to 10g!!!!!

Password Policy not functioning correctly

Here's my situation, and I hope it is something obviously easy that I missed.
Mac Mini Server with 10.9.3 running Server 3.1.2
I have set up Open Directory, and Enabled File sharing in the inital steps to setting up this server. It will be used in a small school environment.
The staff/teacher's passwords I have already set, and then for students, we set a generic password, and have it set that the student will change their password to whatever they want the first time the try to access the server for file sharing.
I have set up a number of local network users already, and I am testing the student password reset function.
My Issue:
Every time I try to change the password at the first time prompt, I am told "Your password does not meet the policy enforced by the server "10.0.0.87". Please try again. "
I have the global password policy set with only the "differ from account name" check box enabled, and none others. Even so, every single password I try to use is denied.
Any help is appreciated.

Query on Password Policy Options in a Account policy

Hi,
The "Password Policy Options" section of Account policy has inputs "Password Provided by" whose options are generated and User.
What is the meaning of these options? Does it mean the when the "generated" option is selected then the user does not have to type in the password for a new user? Because, I selected the option "generated" but still get the "password" fields in the new user creation form? shouldn't the password be automatically generated?
Thanks!

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

Fine-Grained Password Policy problem

Hi All,
I'm testing a Fine-Grained Password Policy for a group of users.
I created a test PSO using ASDI Edit and applied the PSO to a global security group.
Test user has been added to this group.
The PSO settings include "Enforce password history: 5"
The user has changed the password.
After 24h when I logged in as the user and changed the password - for example: Password1.
After another 24 hours I changed the password to Password2.
One day later I've been asked to change the password again.
In theory I shouldn't be able to use any of the 5 previous passwords (password history = 5) but when I entered Password1 it was accepted.
Do you know where can be the problem ?
System info: Windows Server 2008 R2 (forest/domain level is also 2008)
Regards,
Marcin

This is very interesting. I don't have any lab to repro though... So I can't look at it closer.
From an LDAP perspective, when you change your password on AD, you have to comply with the password history policy. This requirement is send by the server to the client thanks to the supported control: LDAP_SERVER_POLICY_HINTS_OID that you can see just by
looking at the RootDSE of one of your DC (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223320.aspx Used with an LDAP operation to enforce password history policies during password set). I am
aware of issues with AD-LDS not honoring it, but not AD... I am not sure if the situation described with FIM here matches your issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2443871 in this article:
"The "Enforce password history" and "Minimum password age" Group Policy settings do not work when you reset the password for a Windows Server 2008 R2-based or a Windows Server 2008-based computer."
But it would mean that it also affects users not having a FGGP (because this isn't specific to FGGP), ad the minimum password age as well. If you have a chance to try this in a lab, let us now... In the mean time, if you can share logs or code from your
app? Like the section that does the password change?

How to list current password policy

Hello all,
This is my first post here. I just finished the DBA Workshop 1 course and my company is migrating from 8i to 10g.
Our primary DBA is on vacation and before he left asked me to look at the new 10g install he did in our test environment. I noticed on the OEM there were some policy violations and I'm using MetaLink and hopefully this forum to resolve them.
What I would like to do is query my 8i instance for the current password policy and apply those to our test 10g instance. Can anyone provide a query to retrieve this info?
Thanks,

I doubt if you can do it now. I haven't worked on LDAPSync to tell you more, but the way I see it is that LDAPSync works with event handlers and since the users are already in, the ldap create event handlers might not trigger. Can you try just by modifying a user which is in OIM and not in LDAP and see if that creates the user in LDAP? If that works, then a simple program to do some dummy update on the user would work for you, if not that you will have to delete all those bad users and rerun the trusted recon by setting the XL.Reuseid = true. Be sure to drop the index on user table for re-using the userlogin.

Windows 2003 Password Policy Ignored in Default Domain Policy

Hi there I've a problem on my DC.
i set in the "default domain policy" the settings form the policy password lenght complexity etc etc..
When i RUN Group policy modelling simulation i cannot view the settings of Windows Settings\Security Settings\account policy\password policy
the scope of the GPO is Authenticated
the GPO seems to be ignored for the security settings but not for the other parameters like kerberos security.
Any Idea to solve this issue?

Hi Federico,
>>i cannot view the settings of Windows Settings\Security Settings\account policy\password policy
What do this mean? Does this mean that we can’t see the password policy in the modeling, or that we can’t see the change we made to the password policy? Besides, were there
error messages displayed in the modeling?
In addition, we can try running the Group Policy Modeling Wizard again to see if the issue persist.
Best regards,
Frank Shen
