EDW - setting and enforcing password policies

We would like to force password changes, force stronger passwords, etc. We have set things up this way on the login server password policy screens, but the changes in policy don't seem to be working. (Users with passwords that are identical to their userids are not forced to change their passwords.) Any suggestions?

There is only if there is more than one resource but selecting which resource to change the password on is not the issue. The problem is if I select the check box, indicating that I want to change the password on the resource, the resource password policy is enforced when generating the password, not the user's assigned password policy.
Maybe I'm not describing it well enough. It is a tad complex. Here's the steps I took to get into this situation.
1) Create an low strength password policy
2) Assign the low strength password policy to the resource under the "Identity System Parameters" for the resource. This should enforce a minimum level of password strength for the given resource.
3) Create a high strength password policy.
4) Create an account policy and link the high strength password policy to the account policy.
5) Edit a user and select the "Assignments Tab".
6) Assign the account policy (with the high strength password policy) to the user.
7) Reset the user's password in the admin interface selecting the resource's checkbox.
8) The password generated by IDM is based on the low strength resource password policy, not the high strength policy assigned to the user.
So in theory now, the user has an account policy that in turn has a password policy that is stronger than the resources enforced password policy. The problem is when I reset the user's password (selecting the resource to reset the password on) the user's assigned policy is not used when generating the password. I don't know and can't tell if this is standard behaviour.
Ideally I'd like to figure out a way to force IDM to use the user's assigned policy rather than the resource policy when generating the password.
In all other cases I'm able to manually ensure that the password passes the user's assigned policy. It is only in the case of a password reset where it is not possible to do so. So... I'm looking for work-arounds.

AUDIT action (create, delete, privilege escalation, set and change password from users account and group) users and admins in Solaris 10

Hello.
in Solaris 10 i need auditing process create, delete, privilege escalation, set and change password and etc... from users account and group.
I set settings:
in file syslog.conf:
*.info;mail.none;cron.none;audit.notice            @IP-Remote-syslog-server-SIEM
in file   /etc/security/audit_control:
dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,ad,ex,cc,am,no,fc,fd
minfree:20
naflags:lo
plugin:name=audit_syslog.so;p_flags=lo,ad,ex,cc,am,no
in file   /etc/security/audit_user:
root:lo,ad:no
Now I see in the logs only the fact of a connection via SSH and run processes on behalf of users. Creation. delete users, change passwords for some reason do not is logged.
Many users. For each individual write permissions in the file /etc/security/audit_user not possible, it is likely to forget any new user (or there is a possibility in this file one line to describe the audits for all accounts?)
Where is the mistake?

You are most likely hitting Bug 15779000 user/role/groupadd/mod/del don't audit their use.
And the fix is only available in S11.2.

Help needed - setting password policies for different types of accounts

Hello,
We have a situation where we have different types of users created on a solaris server. We have regular users, admins, functional accounts and device accounts. Of course solaris does not differentiate between regular user and other types, i think. The default password policy applies to all the users on the server. I want to configure different policy for different types of user accounts. Is it possible? The difference between the accounts on our side is
Regular user accounts - 8 digit numbers ( 00667265) - expire password every 90 days
Functional accounts - 8 digits starting with F ( F0253466) - do not expire, but password length must be 10-12 and complex
Device Accounts - 8 digits starting with Z ( Z2367249) - do not expire, but password length must be 12 and complex - like upper case, lower case, number, special chars etc.
Is it possible to set up different password policies, is so how?

The password expiration policy is pretty easy, it can be set on a per account basis when the account is created. I'm not aware of a simple way to define a complexity policy for groups of accounts but the policy is enforced using pam, so you should be able to write a pam module which would enforce your complexity policy. The pam manual page would be a reasonable starting point for learning about pam.

Active directory Schema - Multiple password policies

Hi All,
I am new to AD and would need some suggestion to configure AD. I want to set up AD(2008 R2) for three categories of users: individual, dealers and organisations. Each dealer and each organisation will have further sub-categories based
on their location. I want to set up separate password policies for the above three categories using AD. I wanted to create them as separate OUs. So I would have multiple OUs for each dealer per location (e.g. individual, dealer1loc1, dealer1loc2,
dealer2loc3 and so on)
I know the concept of PSO(Password Settings Object) and that it can only be applied to OU using shadow groups and batch file (to copy users from OU to Shadow Groups). The issue is that the OUs would keep getting added as per requirement (would
be creating new OUs using C#) and then the management of PSO or shadow groups or batch file would be very complicated, not sure if it can be automated.
Also, I have budet constraints to add new servers for each domain and separate password policies.
What could be the possible solution to separate password policies and set up this user structure in Active Directory. I am using W2k8 R2.
Thanks.

Thanks Mahdi. In this case, the OUs would get created at run time, so the script needs to get updated at run time as well. I guess this will be not easy to automate.
Also, can you confirm if I can set up separate password policies by creating sub domain(e.g. example.com will be divided into sales.example.com and admin.example.com and this would further be divided as melourne.sales.example.com and sydney.sales.example.com)
and I can set separate password policies for sales.example.com and admin.example.com.
By adding child domains,it is like you are killing a mosquito with a rocket launcher, if you know what I mean. adding child domains increase the cost and administration and also adds complexity to your environment.
From technical perspective it is OK to have child domains, but if I were you I would not add that much complexity to my environment because of a script. I would spend enough time or get help form a skilled script writer to edit the script. Also I am saying
that editing your script to a fully automated script is not impossible, it just needs enough time and skills.

Implementing password policie using Role and CoS

Hy all,
I have created a directory with the following partial structure (Sun directory 5.2 patch 2):
ou=people,o=accounts,c=an
|----- cn=user1
|----- cn=user2
|----- cn=user3
ou=services,o=accounts,c=an
|---------cn=user4
|---------cn=user5
|---------cn=user6
I want to assign different password policies based on the ou.
I read within the admin guide that there is a way to do that through CoS and Role: http://docs.sun.com/source/817-7613/useracct.html#wp19625
So I create following records:
- Customized Password Policy Container:
dn: cn=Customized Password Policy, c=an

objectClass: nsContainer
cn: Customized Password Policy
- External User Customized Password Policy: (same as the global one)
dn: cn=externalUserPwdPolicy, cn=Customized Password Policy, c=an
objectClass: top
objectClass: passwordPolicy
cn: externalUserPwdPolicy

passwordMinLength: 8
passwordStorageScheme: SHA
passwordChange: on
passwordMinAge: 86400
passwordMustChange: off
passwordUnlock: off
passwordLockoutDuration: 3600
passwordExp: on
- Service Account Customized Password Policy: (same as the global one except that there is no expiration for password and the password minimum age is set to 2 days instead of one)
dn: cn=serviceAccountPwdPolicy, cn=Customized Password Policy, c=an
objectClass: top
objectClass: passwordPolicy
cn: serviceAccountPwdPolicy
passwordInHistory: 5

objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: costemplate
objectClass: LDAPsubentry
cosPriority: 2

objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: costemplate
objectClass: LDAPsubentry
cosPriority: 2
passwordPolicySubentry: cn=serviceAccountPwdPolicy, cn=Customized Password Policy, c=an
- The thing is that it does not to work: if I disable the global password policy, I can set a 3 caracters password even if I specified in the sub password policy that passwordminlengnt is equal to 8 caracters.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm,
Pretty cool.
I just finished doing it the hard-way when I saw your post :(.
I tried it anyways, and it did all the work that I had done by hand in the previous try. Which was ...
1) Creating the filtered role (same in both approaches).
2) Creating a Container for COS Templates.
3) Creating a COS Template with a dn having a cn string of the full dn to the role in 1) above. Had to use generic entry editor to add all the additional attributes as below ...
dn: cn="cn=TempFilter,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com",
�cn=PolTempl,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: costemplate
cosPriority: 1
passwordPolicySubentry: cn=TempPolicy,dc=example,dc=com
(started with a new costemplate and the added all the above attributes, also involved things like changing the naming attribute - the dn - from cosPriority to the one cn as shown above)
4) Creatiing a COS with ...
4.1) passwordpolicysubenty as a generated attribute that is overriding and operation (this is picked from the matched CoS template)
4.2) Use the template container's dn from 2) above for the TemplateDN value.
4.3) Use nsrole of the target enty to narrow down to the COS template as in 3) above. I.E. "template"->"attribute name" value is set to "nsRole"
(So when a user's nsrole maps to a cn value of an entry under the TemplateDN subtree. That template applies.)

My laptop (HP Pavilion) will not allow me to upgrade or download Firefox without logging in as Administrator, and I don't recall ever setting up a password for Administrator...I'm the only user of the laptop. How can I get around this?

I was trying to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox, and when I downloaded it, and clicked on run, it took me to a login box, where I had to choose whether to continue as current user or login as Administrator. When I clicked on continue as current user, nothing happened. When I tried logging on as Administrator, I used all the passwords I could think of that I use and nothing was accepted. Id on't recall ever setting up a password for Adminstrator on this computer, so I don't know what to do. I even deleted the older version of Firefox thinking that might help, but it didn't work either, and now I don't even have that! Help!

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware! I don't even know how to set a firmware password and I am the only user on this computer too! I have a thread about that too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926399?start=0&tstart=0

What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
Absolutely not. You can create a blank password. Yes it's stupid. Yes it's unsafe. But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password. <facepalm>

Click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you're the device's original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF. That will eliminate the problems all together.

Bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

You can bypass the password and wipe the drive and return to the original facory installation if the seller included the orginal install DVDs with the Mac mini. If not you will need a retail version of Mac OS X. To boot from the Install DVD restart the mini, immediately slip in the DVD and press and hold the C key.
