FIM Password Synchronization Not Catching All Password Changes

I have a FIM 2012 R2 environment and I'm about to start synchronizing password changes from AD into our legacy systems.  I have PCNS installed on my DCs and the AD MA in FIM configured as a password sync source.
Everything works - just not all of the time.
I've enabled PCNS verbose logging on the DCs.  I'm getting "The password notification has been delivered to all targets - (Event ID 2100)"
success messages for all password changes but the FIM sync engine ony appears to be acting on ~25% of the incoming changes.
I had thought it was my password extension code that may have been having issues but I stripped it down to simply dropping an event into an event log and it's still dropping 75% of the changes.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour before? 
Is there any way to correlate PCNS events with some form of log in FIM?  I can't seem to find anything in the event log that's tied to password changes.
Cheers,
    Ian

Looks like I managed to solve this one myself (it's alot easier once you manage to get logging to work correctly (doh!)).
The problem lies in the way we're currently provisioning AD accounts (out of band through a scripted process).  This means that accounts show up in AD before FIM knows that they exist - FIM isn't having a problem finding the user in the password target
connector space, it's having a problem finding them in the password source connector space.
The 25% that are succeeding are the individuals who have already been recognized by FIM in both the source and target connector spaces.

    You don't need an Adobe ID or password to install Flash Player, but you may need to provide your system's Administrator password during the installation.

  • UserPrincipal.ChangePassword thinks the password does not meet the password policy requirements.

    I am working with C# 3.5.  My goal is to have a simple program to allow a user change their Active Directory user password via a web page.  I have a console application to initially test the commands to active directory and I am running into a problem.
    my domains password policy is as follows.
    Enforce password history 24 passwords remembered
    Minimum password length 7 characters
    Password must meet complexity requirements Enabled
    Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
    The error I am getting is "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)"
    I believe the new password I am using does meet the policy requirements and I can't seem to get this program to work.  All I want to build is a simple program to allow a user to change their Active Directory user password.
    My test code is below.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
    using System.DirectoryServices;
    namespace ActiveDirectoryHacking
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    PrincipalContext adPrincipalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "192.168.1.26", "OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org", "John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword");
    Console.WriteLine("Validate user {0}", adPrincipalContext.ValidateCredentials("John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword"));
    UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(adPrincipalContext, "John.Doe");
    Console.WriteLine(user.DistinguishedName);
    user.ChangePassword("Initial Complex P234dfword", "e$213434sDKS really? www.microsoft.com");
    //user.SetPassword("Initial Complex P234dfword");
    user.Save();
    Console.WriteLine("Press a key to exit.");
    Console.ReadKey();
    The .SetPassword works if I use a user with Domain Admin access but it appears the John.Doe is unable to change their own password with the .ChangePassword method.
    The output until the exception is the following
    Validate user True
    CN=John Doe,OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org
    I have no clue why any password I select for the new password does not work.

    I looked into the password policy and this is what I have learned.  There is a major difference between undefined and defined in policies plus making sure the defined policies are set with values that will provide the desired results.
    Since this is a development domain and is used for testing I have tweaked the password policy to allow me to develop and test against the domain with a little bit more freedom than a production domain.
    I have changed the policy to the following settings. 
    Enforce password history 0 passwords remembered
    Maximum password age 0 days
    Minimum password age 0 days
    Minimum password length 7 characters
    Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled
    Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
    Now, I am able to run my program against the domain testing the password change utility.  My error was leaving some of the policy settings as not defined and not understanding what that really means for each setting.  For development of a password change utility I need the flexibility to test and the relaxed policy changes allows me to run the program many times without having to work with test data that works around a more restricted policy.

  • Lighthouse password does not update on password change

    The Lighthouse password is not updating when a password is changed in AD by ctrl-alt-del and received by the JMS Listener adapter. All of the user's assigned resource passwords change, except Lighthouse. When the user has a capability, the Lighthouse password updates consistently.
    Using IDM 7.1.1.
    How can we get the Lighthouse password to update without a capability assigned to the user?
    Thanks,
    Richard

  • The saved passwords are not shown in 'password manager'

    My firefox browser had saved my password for Yahoo.It logged me in automatically everytime I went to the particular site, without a problem but recently I Forgot my password for yahoo and when I went to the password manager it was empty and did not show anything. I then went to yahoo mail to make sure whether or not firefox still has my password and found out it logged me in just like it did before which means firefox remembers my password but won't show them in 'Password manager'. Pls help me .

    There are two elements that are 'remember' points for yahoo web mail.
    Depending on what you have clicked in the past, Yahoo.com saves a little file on your device called a 'cookie'. When you 'logged' into the website for the first (or more recent) time, there was a little check box next to the login field and password fields. It probably was checked. this enabled yahoo to save on your computer a 'cookie' so that you are now known by yahoo and others , when you connect ,and when you last looked at their website (and were presented with their advertising, as payment for using their free service), now when you signed out from Yahoo, it remembered the cookie, and not your password. The next time you forgot your password, and clicked 'I forgot my password' at yahoos site, it looked at your 'cookie', then sent you to the correct site for your country or language.. Thats what fouled up before. (Remember , Firefox has not saved your password yet), however, there was a point where you can click update my password), and then FF will save your password to the website you told it to. Auto-Complete is what happens when you fill in your user name, and that also gets stored with your 'cookie'.
    J Hope this helps explain the 3 places where your password is kept.
    1) Locally on your device in a secure file (IF Master Password is used) based on the domain name you connect to.
    2)In a cache file in memory, while the session is active, and refreshed occaisionally, and linked with a 'cookie' from the website.
    3)At the Yahoo Web Server and cached internally, to match with the cookie that is stored with your machineID.

  • Turn Off Firmware Password will not accept correct password

    Hello communtiy,
    A while back I set a Firmware Password on my 15" MacBook Pro Early 2011 and have used it with great success. Now however I wish to turn it off and am having difficulties doing so. The problem is as follows:
    I restart my Mac, press and hold ALT to enter the drive selection screen, enter the Firmware Password, and select the Recovery Partition.
    Once the screen starts I select utilities -> Firmware Password Utilities and select "Turn Off Firmware Password..." I am promted to enter my old password, which I do, at which point I get the red error message: "The password is incorrect."
    As you can see the password should be correct as I entered the ultility window using it, but it isn't accepted by the tool. I've tried every other conceivable option, such as my admin password, old passwords I no longer use, etc. all to no avail.
    I receive the same message when trying to simply change the Firmware Password.
    Might there be a problem with special characters? My password uses alpha numeric values as well as two special characters: ? and ,
    The system currently runs OS X 10.8.2
    Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appriciated!

    Ah, I didn't know they could. In that case I will see if I can get an appointment. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. Would be great if I could work this out over the weekend.

  • Just got a new macbook pro, it has a password, did not choose any password yet, so how can i get the password back ?

    I just got my MBP, it is a new one. and just found out that my mac has a password. when i tried to instal a new app, it asked me to enter the password.
    what should i do? any help

    But if you bought a new Mac, did someone already run the initial setup procedure for you?  Ordinarily, with a brand new, out of the box Apple computer, at first boot you would have been taken through a series of setup screens, one of which would have had you create an admin account with an admin password.
    If somebody else already did that when you picked it up, then you should call the store and ask them for the password as they must have set it.  Then, immediately change it to something you make up.
    If you did not have the store set it up, then I'd suspect you did not actually get a brand new Mac?

  • Just updated to Firefox 7. Even though I have checked the appropriate boxes in the "Privacy" menu for clearing history and password when Firefox closes, all passwords and history are there next time I start Firefox.

    I had this set up in previous versions of Firefox. After updating to 7, it no longer works. I went to "Tools" "Options" "Privacy" I checked "clear history when Firefox closes" I also went to settings and checked all the boxes. Then clicked OK. I closed Firefox, waited a few minutes, started it again, and all my history and passwords loaded on startup. Why?

    I'm a little puzzled that your post shows Firefox 29.0.1 but you said you updated this week (Firefox 32.0 was released this week). ???
    One of your settings is '''places.history.enabled''' = false, which could be a problem for saving history. I'm not sure how that could have gotten switched. Could you check here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    Under "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" make sure you have the settings you want.
    Note: I think I have read that if Firefox is set to clear history at shutdown, then Firefox might not save any history during your session.
    Can you find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop? If the Reset feature ran, your old data would be in that folder and we could discuss how to restore them.

  • Preflight not catching all RGB images?

    Hello.  New to the forums, here!  I thank you all in advance for your help.  Now, I completed a project in InDesign and conducted a preflight, as  usual.  After correcting all of the issues I relinked the images, and  then conducted a final preflight to make triple sure all of the issues  were corrected.  I then packaged the files, put them on a thumb drive,  and sent the drive to the printers.  Today, I receive word that  everything is fine except for the printers had to correct 4 images that  were left in RGB.  Confused, I rechecked the indesign files I sent and preflight still didn't show any problems.  I then tried to check each image file in the "link" folder in my pacakged file and nothing showed up there either.  I mean, I did copy and paste an image or two from another InDesign file (but I believe they ended up being linked), and also copied and pasted a few vectors from Illustrator into InDesign (so I could make small edits and change colors), but I didn't think it would be a problem.  Could those copy and pasted images or vectors be the cause?  If not, what could?  I'm using CS4.

    Pasted material would NOT show in the links panel, but that shouldn't be affecting preflight. Are you using the Live Preflight, or the old preflight that you access through the File menu?
    I've seen cases where prepress mislables spot colors as RGB, too. It would help if you could get more information from them about what was really found.

  • Itunes match does not save all my changes

    Hello all!
    So, I'm very upset about how working with itunes match and I need some advises of you.
    The situation is:
    I'm reorganizing my library on my Mac. (and it's a hard, hard work for me).
    After change lots of tags and play lists, how is my surprise when iTunes match undo parts of my work and back some songs and lists the his preview state.
    I activate itunes Match only in my MAC and my Macbook, but, untill I finish the entire work I keeping my Macbook turne off.
    I thought that it would understand that if I'm doing a change right now, this change is the change that I want to keep.
    I already tryed click on the "update iTunes Match" from the "Store" menu, but it didn't work.
    I have been fighting with iTunes Match for days.... doing and loosing hours of hard work.
    I'm about to surrender and turn it off.
    Somebory knows why it's happen and how to fix it?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thank you!

    Thank you!
    You are absolutely right.
    Based on you told me,  I created an hypothesis:
    - If I want to do many changes in ID3 tag of the same song, I have to do it all in once (or wait a little to change again) because if i change something and change another thing right after, the system will get confuse.
    I was doing several changes one after another in the same songs. Like, changing the "Group field" of 10 songs, pressing "OK" and right after changing another field and another after that... We are not in the 25 century yet, kkkkkkk, my mistake!
    Now I'm using filters to group all songs for a specific change and do all changes in ID3 tag (in all fields that need changes) at the same time. At the first tests it's working fine.

  • 'Find' Function not Catching all Words

    Under MenuBar>Edit>Find>Find>Advanced, when I enter in a word or phrase, the 'Find' feature only identifies 75% - 90% of the occurrences of the entered word or phrase. How do I correct this? Thanks.
    appler505

    Are you sure that there is no 'invisible' character embedded ?
    Seems likely that non-graphic/non-imageable control character(s) in Unicode are the cause, if
    a. control characters are identified and input from the Character Palette such as spacing control characters and joining/non-joining control characters for ligation, or
    b. characters are identified from a non-default keyboard whose key codes generate combining character sequences that don't map to a specific writing system in script.
    But if so, then assigning a spelling dictionary to the selected character string ought to show a lot of red alerts where the spelling dictionary fails sections of the character string, no?
    Another way of working this is to ask the person with the problem to open the Character Palette, insert the cursor in the string of characters, press shift and right arrow once and once only (left arrow once and once only, respectively), press the Advanced icon at lower left, and select Show Character Selected in Application, and see what character is shown. However, this will not work if a combining character sequence is inserted, see previous discussions from time to time since the turn of 2008.

  • Office 365 AAD Password Writeback not working; Event Viewer Error: 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed to the current one specified.)

    Hello all,
    I'm currently setting up a Proof Of Concept setup with directory synchronisation and password syncing to Office 365, leveraging AAD Premium for the password reset and password writeback to on premises
    AD functionality. Directory Sync + Password Sync is working flawlessly with the AADSync tool. However, upon requesting a password reset for a user, I'm hitting a password writeback error. The webpage states that the password does not meet the password
    complexity policy, while it does. I can set that particular password for that account at the on premises AD without any problem.
    In the event viewer at the AADSync server, I'm seeing this Error pop up whenever I try to reset the password:
    An unexpected error has occurred during a password set operation.  "BAIL: MMS(4032): ..\server.cpp(11003): 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed
    to the current one specified.) Azure AD Sync 1.0.0475.1202"
    My Setup:
    Windows Server 2012 AD with a single forest
    Seperate domain joined Windows Server 2012 for AADSync tool
    AADSync version 1.0.0475.1202 with options password sync, password writeback enabled
    Service account for AADSync tool with Replicating Directory Changes and Replicating Directory Changes All permissions
    on root AD forest structure with inheritance to all objects. This account also has the permissions to Change Password and Reset Password on all descendant
    User Objects.
    AAD Premium for my office 365 tenant
    AAD Premium licenses for the test users and the office 365 account used to sync to Office 365. This account is also Global Admin.
    Could anyone help me with this? Is there something I’m missing here? My guess is that the AAD is not trusted or the service account for AADSync tool does not have the proper permissions. I’ve tried
    many options, like setting the AADSync Service account to Enterprise Admin or granting the service account Full Control over that particular user.

    Concerning my issue:
    The Default Group Policy setting: Minimum Password Age is set at 1 day. As I was testing this feature with new users, their provisioned passwords were less than 24 hours old and the Minimum Password Age of 1 prevented the change of the password.
    After changing this to 0 days in the Default Group Policy, my password resets started working for newly created users. While this might not have affected existing users in production, it had me looking and searching for permission issues on my AD.
    So for those that might be experiencing ADSync Event ID 6329 and PasswordResetService Event ID 33008 Errors when trying to do a Password Reset using AAD Premium with Password Writeback, it might be helpful to check the applied password policy.
    The issue is solved.

  • Will not allow me to change a user password

    Okay this is a little different. This has gotten me a little puzzled and I am hoping someone with some knowledge about File Vault etc can help.
    I have this machine where there is a user name and a password (that we can't remember) with File Vault turned on. We know the master password however the master password will not allow us to change the users password.
    We have tried changing the Master Password to ensure that the password is not the issue and that was successful. We tried using the Master Password to try and change another user account (not with File Vault turned on) and it gives us no problems.
    I have tried changing the password in System preferences and I get an error message CSSMERRCODE_MEMORYERROR. I tried going to the login screen letting the login attempts time out where it asks for the master password, then it prompts me to reset the password. No matter what I put in the "new" and "verify" (yes they both match) the screen just shakes and won't let me go any further.
    I have repaired the permissions and tried resetting the password with the Leopard DVD and also came across no luck. Because the User has File Vault turned on I can not even back up the data so I just delete the account and re-create the user!
    I am really stuck here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay strangely enough, I tried to reset the password back. We had an old File Vault password that we changed to the current one and then changed again during this process. So taking what you said, I reset the Master password to the original one we had a long time ago. It did not allow us to change the password. However when I changed it back to the one we had changed it to a second time, it wouldn't let me change it at the login screen but it allowed me to change it in the Account Management under System Preferences.
    So it is fixed. Needless to say I disabled File Vault and it will never be used again! Thank you for your reply it definitely helped me resolve this issue.

  • Windows 2012 cluster, CLIUSR cannot be created, password does not meet security requirements

    Trying to create a Windows 2012 cluster (Not R2). The cluster creation wizard goes through without problems. However, after a few minutes the cluster service dies with EventID 1556 and error code 2245 "The
    password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements." The error repeats every few minutes.
    Looking at the cluster log, we find:
    ERR   Workitem(Sweeper::Sweep)  callback threw exception: (2245)' because of '[CLI] Account Creation failure: 2245, 4294967295'
    ERR   [CORE] Shutting down cluster service because of unhandled exception in a worker thread
    It appears it is trying to create the local CLIUSR account, but the self-generated password does not meet complexity... The local password policy is the default deployed with Windows 2012 -
    No unusual password requirement (8 characters with built-in complexity requirement) 
    I saw Elden's description of CLIUSR in
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/95929983-a50c-42b3-a520-6a171e542948/win-server-2012-two-node-cluster-local-cliuser-issue?forum=winserverClustering - so I believe I understand what it is doing, but how can it not generate a password complex
    enough? And I do not see any report of anyone having this issue, so I suspect a local configuration / issue. 

    Hi FrankJB,
    Please verify that the Cluster Service account has the appropriate user rights on each node of the cluster. The Cluster Service account must be
    in the local administrators group and should have the rights listed below. These rights are given to the Cluster Service account during the
    configuration of the Cluster node. It is possible that a higher level policy is over-writing the local policy or that an upgrade from a previous
    operating system does not add all of the required rights.
    If you can confirm your current account meet the cluster create conditions, please disable all your firewall then run the cluster validation and
    post the warning and error information.
