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)

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?

Sun Directory Server Password Policy Problems

Hi,
I am using Sun Directory Server and Sun AM (2005Q1).
We are using SUN DS to configure the password policy to expire user passwords after 30 days.
Also, the warning has been set to "one day before expiry". However, when the warning IS displayed to the user and the user changes his/her password on display of the warning, even though the user's password expiration timestamp attribute contains a new timestamp (which is 30 days hence the date of change), on next login user is AGAIN thrown the warning that his/her password will expire in "HH hours: MM mins".
I do not understand what needs to be done to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

How is the user authenticated ? Through Access Manager or directly to the Directory Server ?
Access Manager can be configured to handle Password expiration, and so can Directory Server. I would advise you to check which system is actually throwing the warning.

Ludovic

What is the Best way to apply granular password policy

I am trying to apply Fine Grain Password Policy in small groups to my users, I have set the password expiry to 10 days
for testing. But the moment I apply the policy, users start getting password change notifications immediately, Outlook or
Lync start asking for a new password.
Should it not wait for 5 days to start poping-up on the clients that they have 5 days left to change there passwords.
What is the best I can do not to disturb the users, I cannot do this at night because most users have mobile devices. Windows 2012

Hi Petro,
In addition to Mihai's answer, also consider checking/changing the 'Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration' which by default is 14 days. I think there is a default notice period of 5 days but for Windows 7 or 2008 R2
servers that don't have a Group policy overriding the local policy (not domain joined). I am not sure how that applies to 2012. So if you haven't changed that to 5 days, it might be the cause of the problem.
On a PSO object I don't think you can set the password change notification.
The settings can be found in Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.

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.

Creating a new Password Policy

I am running a Windows 2012 Datacenter domain with Exchange 2013 as a member server. 100% of my users are Outlook Anywhere or OWA users that only use email, so they do not login to the domain on their PC's. I want to create a User password policy and
apply it to specific OU's to force users to change their passwords every 180 days. But I see two issues. One is the Default Domain Policy that is applied to the entire domain, and the other is that it appears that you can only apply a password
policy to a system and not a user.
Does anyone have any guidance or advise. TIA

I believe what you're looking for is a fine-grained password policy.
Step1 - Create the Policy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754461(v=ws.10).aspx Of these options, I recommend using ADSI
Step2 -Linking the Policy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731589(v=ws.10).aspx Of these options, I recommend using AD Users & Computers
Hope this helps.

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.

How can I deploy password policy to a specific group?

Dear All,
I would like to deploy password policy to specific OU for testing purpose. As I know password policy only can setup in
Default Domain Policy or new created policy and save at the root of domain. Is there any method for me to test the password policy for specific OU? Thanks.
Frankie

Hi,
As Vivian said, Fine grained password policy cannot be applied directly to an OU.
Instead you can create a global security group in the OU and apply the fine grained password policy.
For example, if you need to apply a password policy for "Sales" OU, you can create a global security named "Sales Users" and assign the Fine grained password policy to this group. Then you can add the users to be tested in the "Sales"
OU as members of this group.
Checkout the below link on the deployment scenario of Fine grained password policy,
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/07/fine-grain-password-policy-for-active-directory-2008-domain-does-not-apply.aspx
FYI - To activate the fine grained password policies, you need to raise your domain functional level to Windows Server 2008 or higher.

Locked Down Password Policy

I need help fellow Spiceheads. I have been pulling my hair out trying to create a Fine-Grain Password Policy for ONE user. I used ADSI Edit first. Created the policy to my liking, used the msDSAppliesTo and assigned it to the user in question. Replicated and waited a few minutes. Didn't work. OK. I obviously did something wrong. Not the first time. Do some research. Stumble across an article that states I can do the same thing using ADAC. Hmmmm....I like that! Let's try that!!! Open ADAC and navigate to the Password Policy folder within System, try to create a NEW policy within that folder......hmmmm....that option is greyed out!! Mother^%$#$%, no-good, dirty-rotten &^$#@#%^$*!!!!!!!We're running Windows Server 2008 R2, but....here's my thought. ADAC is used in Windows Server 2008 and above??

How to force password policy requirements on password resets for user accounts reset by the Administrator?

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Domain Level: 2008
Forest Level: 2000
We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
and can reset a password for a user account to be blank.
Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins?

Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

Problems Implementation Password Policy on OIM 9.1.0

Hello,,,
Please help me,
i was create password policy on OIM, i inject that pass policy to one of resource object, i create object form and process form with same configuration ( field table ), i use data flow to transmit the data between object form and process form..
i set process definition with check AUTO SAVE FORM, and AUTO PRE-POPULATE,
the Problems is :
1. When i try to do provisioning process ( with delegated admin : xelsysadm ) to that resource object (target system) , after admin submit , status process is provisioning, and the detail is System Validation : Pending
2. Then i try to remove password policy on resource object, and i try again to do the provisioning, and the process working fine, status process provisioned, detail process
system validation : completed, Create user : completed
why it'is happen ?
that the important point is, why AUTO SAVE FORM cannot working fine if i inject Password Policy on resource Object...
Warm regards,
Ricky R

When you say you have checked auto prepop means that there are pre pops attached to certain fields on your process form that you want to be auto triggered before provisioning commences. So i'm assuming that you are pre-populating password field. Is the password value that you are prepopping the field with conform to the standards of the password policy? If not that could be the reason why your provisioning process isnt getting kicked off. you will need to supply a password (either manually or if you want to automate it (pre pop it)) that coforms to the password policy defined on the resource object. Also i think the name of the password field must be _PASSWORD.

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

Password Policy : PwdMustChange problem

Hi,
i'm facing some strange issues with the password policy under Oracle Directory Server v6.3.
I modified the global policy to force user to change their password after administrative reset.
In the policy i see PwdMustChange set on TRUE.
The problem is that it has no effects on users.
I use several administrative accounts (including directory manager) to change user password (made a reset) and it is still possible to log with their account.
I don't get it, it's like the property PwdMustChange had no effect.
Has anyone faced this problem??
Thanks

The "must change" state does not prevent a user from logging in. It only requires that the next LDAP operation that the user does on that open connection be a MOD where the user changes his own password. All subsequent operations other than the password reset will fail (most likely with err=53 - DSA Unwilling To Perform).
However, many applications will not do anything subsequent as the user. In other words, the BIND will succeed and then the application will go on about its business servicing the user, because the way the application code is written, it doesn't need to do anything other than the BIND to authenticate the user, and the BIND has succeeded.
When an LDAP-enabled application is going to integrate with the LDAP password policy model, it needs to consume LDAP controls properly. In this case, the BIND request and response should include a password policy control that indicates the user must reset his password. This is how, even in the case of an application that need not do anything except BIND, the password policy functionality can work.
If you want to verify that the server's password policy is working, you can do it in a number of ways. If you have the audit log turned on, when the administrative reset occurs, you should see some server-side modifications to the user that set a "must reset" operational attribute. If you do ldapsearch as the user, you should get an informational message that the search has failed. Depending on which ldapsearch tool you use, you may get a fairly informative message about the user needing to reset his password and/or the server being unwilling to service the SRCH request. If your ldapsearch as the user succeeds immediately after the admin reset, then the server password policy is not set up correctly.

Fine Grained Access ERROR on INSERT when generating unique keys

I'm using VPD/Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC) to implement security on my 9i backend. I created a security policy function that returns the predicate 'owner = USER'; - each of the tables has an additional column titled OWNER which contains the name of the logged-in user. Every time a user inserts a record, a BEFORE INSERT trigger fires (for every row) and inserts the USER name into the OWNER column. This is fairly straightforward and ensures that users can see only their rows. Using the DBMS_RLS.add_policy procedure, I attached the security policy to several tables and made it effective upon SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements.
However, the frontend Java application (custom-made) generates unique IDs (sequences are not used) by selecting max(ID)+1 from the primary key columns of the tables. The problem is that the predicate is appended to the SELECT max(ID)+1 query to limit the max(ID) to only those rows where 'owner = USER'. Therefore, the max(ID) generated is not the largest ID for the entire table, but only the largest among the USER rows.
So unless that USER happens to have the the largest ID in the whole table (and it has worked then), a primary-key violation error will be returned and the INSERT operation will be aborted.
How can I allow every USER to select from AND get the absolute largest ID from the PK column without allowing that user to select records that don't belong to him? If I had developed the application, I would have made use of sequences on the back-end to generate unique primary key IDs. Unfortunately, I don't have this option and must work with the application as is.
NOTE: the front-end Java application understands only the base table names, NOT Views created by me on the server. If the answer to this problem involves views, how can I make use of them on the backend when the front-end code does not recognize them?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Michael

first you could use default column values, not a trigger, which is more expensive.
if your apps already assumes full access to table to get max id ( another RT ), this is bad. Current RLS can not really help if you can not change the apps because of this flaw logic ( you can store the maxid anywhere, why scanning the whole table to find it )

How to retrieve a password policy response after a ldap bind operation

Background:
I've set up openldap with the ppolicy overlay. The overlay works as expected, but after a bind operation I need to get hands on the ppolicy response.
This can be done manually (with shell commands like ldapsearch) by specifying '-e ppolicy' (general extension).
But how can i get hands on response from my LoginModule? Code:
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userDN);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, inputPassword);
ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
..is it possible to use ExtendedRequest or UnsolicitedNotificationEvent when the creation of the context throws a NamingException (the bind operation fails due to a locked account).
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am having the exact same problem in that OpenLDAP is implementing the password policy people login and everything is fine, but then the password expires and bang they are out. I would like to be able to give my users some warning to say that their password will expire in x days or that your password has expired you have X logins left.
Anyway I have tried the methods suggested here and using ctx.getResponseControls() will either give me null or an array with the exact same objects that I passed in with new InitialLdapContext. What I have did work fine when we used the old jar libraries but we moved to JNDI.
Any help would be appriciated

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:

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.
