LDAP user password "force reset" compliance.

Sun JSWS 7.0
Sun JSDS 6.0
I have ACLs set up with an LDAP authentication database. When a user logs in and their password is in the warn before expire time frame they are redirected to the URL defined by "Redirect URL" in the "Edit Authentication DB" web server GUI menu. This is (from what I can tell) the proper behavior.
Here is the issue- when we create a new user we have an LDAP password policy which is supposed to force the user to change their password at first log in. However, the web server does not seem to comply with this policy and simply allows the user to log in. Is there a way to to configure the web server to send the user to the change password page in this case?
Thanks,
Jess

Theoretically I think it should work I will have to test it. Can you check LDAP Server logs and tell me what's happening?
Currently Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 redirects you to a URL provided when passwords
1) are about to expire (LDAP Server returns LDAP_CONTROL_PWEXPIRING ) or
2) have expired (LDAP Server sends LDAP_CONTROL_PWEXPIRED).
This page is set by administrators to either communicate to users that their password will expire soon (and possibly offer ways to renew it). The way to set this is in the auth-db configuration (see server.xml) may have an optional element <auth-expiring-url> its value must be a URL.
When LDAP server returns LDAP_CONTROL_PWEXPIRED control, user is not authenticated in Web Server (hence will be DENIED access to resources which have ACLs that allows access only to authenticated users).
However when LDAP server returns LDAP_CONTROL_PWEXPIRING, user is authenticated in Web Server (hence will be ALLOWED access to resources which have ACLs that allows access only to authenticated users).
According to the documentation LDAP server should return LDAP_CONTROL_PWEXPIRED in case the use is logging in the first time

How to prevent user password being reset to the same password?

Hi,
As you all know, domain admin has the power to reset user password. Let's think of the following scenario:
if an admin lets a user reset his password to use the same string, this action means he could nullify company policy on password which requires user's last N passwords being recorded in the history.
We could very well imagine that the admin reset his own personal password in order to bypass company policy.
I have asked partner forum to see if there's a way to prevent such thing, but the reply I got is "No".
I wanted to know if anyone of you have any idea to prevent such thing from happening?
Or if it's possible to get the hash value of users past N password to see if he's always using the same password?
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Good rules is better alternative to complex policy.
Combine password history with time interval between changes.
Regards
Milos
You don't understand what I mean.
He knows exactly what you mean.

Enforce password history
The Enforce password history policy setting determines the number of unique new passwords that must be associated with a
user account before an old password can be reused .
The possible values for this Group Policy setting are:
A user-defined number from 0 through 24.
Not defined.
Discussion
Password reuse is an important concern in any organization. Many users want to reuse the same password for their account over a long period of time. The longer the same password is used for
a particular account, the greater the chance that an attacker will be able to determine the password through brute force attacks. If users are required to change their password, but nothing prevents them from using the old password or continually reusing a
small number of passwords, the effectiveness of a good password policy is greatly reduced.
Specifying a low number for Enforce password history allows users to continually use the same small number of passwords repeatedly. If you do not also set Minimum
password age, users can change their password as many times in a row as necessary in order to reuse their original password.
If you set Enforce password history to a number greater than zero, users must come up with a new password every time they are required to change their old one. This
improves security, but it can increase the risk that users will write down their passwords so they do not forget them.
If you set the value to the maximum of 24, it helps to ensure that vulnerabilities caused by password reuse are kept to a minimum.
For this policy setting to be effective in your organization, configure Minimum password age so that you do not allow passwords to be changed immediately. Enforce
password history should be set at the level that combines a reasonable maximum password age with a reasonable password change interval requirement for users.

> There are standard UME configs that are set to read/write and readonly. The name of the config normally has it as part of the name - readonly or writeable.
Where can i check the UME config settings to LDAP ?
> If your LDAP product doesn't have a web based frontend,
I don't know if they have any..I know the LDAP server Hostname.How do i login to LDAP WebUI using a webpage ? ( eg : hostname: port/xxx )
How do you make sure the LDAP product's password rules are enforced?>
> Make it a problem for the LDAP administrator!
From Portal side, how do i check if the LDAP rules are being enforced or not ? If it is not, then i can raise a question to LDAP Admin. And i cannot send a request to change the password for me everytime i want right ?
Any good docs on Portal with LDAP ?
Thanks!

Essbase 9.3.1 and problem with LDAP users

Essbase 9.3.1 users externalized to Shared Services. Windows boxes. LDAP users set in Shared users. Provisioned with Essbase rights (administration and speciific cube access). Then in EAS have refreshed security from Shared Services. LDAP users show up now in EAS.
However when attempting to connect through excel add-in or through EAS or through Financial reports to any Essbase app receving and error message that "login fails due to invalid credentials".
Users setup in Shared services as Native Users are able to access Essbase apps.
any ideas?

It came down to a Novell E Directory LDAP setting. ID Attribute. We had it set to CN (based on a recommendation by a LDAP resource, although the default is GUID and GUID is recommended by the documentation).
Turns out that Essbase when authenticating the LDAP user was forcing it back to GUID and causing some sort of mismatch.
Setting the ID Attribute in the LDAP Configuration back to GUID resolved the issue.

How to force a new password in portal with LDAP user? external users

With an external portal (used by agents that do not work for you or reside in your office), company policy is for password to be changed every qtr.
If the users are creating as LDAP users how to force them to change their password when required?
Is this a custom application that needs to be written so when they log into the portal if the qtr has expired the portal ask them to enter a new password that becomes valid for the next qtr.
Versus internally deleting and emailing all the users a new password?

Hi Glenn,
We are getting one problem when we are creating user in LDAP and login with that user in Portal that time we are getting Password change screen , but when we create a user in LDAP and change the password of that user in LDAP then when the user tries to Login to portal that time we are not able to see the password change screen.
But again if we change the password of that user through Portal we are able to see change password screen.
can you help on this how we can force the user to change password when we are changing password in LDAP or in SAP System.

User must change password after reset?

I am looking at the password policy settings and am wondering what "User must change password after reset� actually does. I turned it on. I tried changing some passwords in an ldap client and didnt get any messages or errors after authn again. And I didnt see a special attribute in the persons entry. Any clues?

When the flag is enabled and the password is changed by "cn=directory manager", the next time the user authenticate, the server returns the Password Expired Control (with a Success code) and all requests other than modify of userPassword are rejected.

Snow Leopard Server reset LDAP Admin password

Hi,
I have taken over the maintenance of a Mac Mini server. The previous persone left the Server Admin crudentials but no information regarding LDAP Admin.
Could not find the information in the Keychain non of the known usernames and passowords work either.
Any idea how to reset the LDAP Admin password?
Thanks!

The typical user created for managing Open DIrectory LDAP is Directory Administrator (diradmin), though it's possible to have a different user.
Launch Workgroup Manager and authenticate to the server, and have a look around for that user. (If necessary, click Accounts head-and-shoulders icon on the top, and then the other head-and-shoulders icon. This will get you to the accounts, and specifically to the users that are in Open Directory)
If you find that user, or any other users that has a checkmark for "administer this server" for that matter, then those are the passwords you'll be changing.
If Workgroup Manager shows the user as locked, click on the padlock.
(All of this assumes that you have access to Workgroup Manager through some user that can administer the Open Directory server. If not, then you'll want to ask your predecessor, or you'll be breaking into the database.)
The password is on the same display as the user accounts.
I'd strongly recommend getting a backup of everything before making any changes. Boot the DVD installation disk, and use Disk Utility from the Utilities menu to create disk images to external disks from there. Probably two copies, on two disks. Mistakes here can be bad, and you'll want to have a good copy regardless.

Full Reconciliation resets user password on resource?

I am new to IDM and thus have limited expertise, I would appreciate if you guys can help me out.
I would like to import all the users from LDAP resource through Full Reconciliation. Everything works well except that Full Reconciliation actually resets all the user password (I wonder why IDM does this). Does anyone know how can I remove this feature?

I have found out that it was not reconciliation that does the reset password, but Enable User workflow that I have defined in Per-account Workflow which resets the password.
Sorry for the misundersrtanding.

LDAP User Synchronization : Password

Hi All,
I have a question about LDAP User Synchronization to SU01 in ABAP. Does it create an initial password for the users being Synced? or It stores the LDAP Password in SU01 password field?
I have doubt about the second, as LDAP will never return the password in plain text, and Password Hashing schemes can be different between LDAP and ABAP.
If it doesn't store the password at all in SU01 for Synced users, then how does user login into SAP GUI?
Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
Sanjeev

Hi Tim,
it's not possible to unhash cryptographic hash function. One of the main properties of each cryptographic hash function is preimage resistance which means that it's not feasible for a given hash h to find a message m that hash(m) = h. Even in case that it is possible to find this message you can't be sure that that was the original message because as we know a hash function maps message of arbitrary length to fixed size string. Obviously, there is more messages with variable length than messages with one fixed sized so there has to be at least one hash where there are two messages m1 and m2 and hash(m1) = hash(m2) (pigeon hole principle). So it could happen that user would choose password m1 but your unhasing algorithm would get m2. Obviously, it's highly improbable that second hash function hash m1 and m2 into same hash. Therefore such a solution will not be never available and the only solution is to get password in clear text and distribute it to each system in clear text form. As Julius mentioned this is supported but it has some disadvantages.
Cheers

Ankur,
Its very much possible to have an automatted job which will read a text file from a portal content path and reset the user password. You can implement KM Scheduler task using NWDS.
Let your KM Scheduler task have the logic to read a file. Use UME API to reset the password for the given user.
Deploy this KM Scheduler task into portal from NWDS using portal admin user name and password.
Navigate to portal and schedule the deployed task under System admin -> System config -> Knowledge management -> content Management -> Global services -> Scheduler tasks -> Schedulers -> You should be able to see your deployed scheduler here -> just select the link and set the time period -> by this way you can run a job at any time like everyday at 11A.M , every one hour, ever 10 minutes etc.
I remember thr is blog on SDN reg the scheduler. Please search in SDN.

OIM 11g - Reset End-User Password by Helpdesk

Hi,
Help Desk Administrators can search the "End Users" and can "Reset the Password". I have to customize the "Reset Password Menu" which is having two options to reset the password.
1. Manually Change the Password
2. Auto generate the Password (Randomly Generated)
Here i have to disable the option of selecting the "Manually Change the Password". So that the HelpDesk Administrators can select only one option which "Auto Generate the Password".
Urgent Help, highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I think I remember (if I am not wrong) it is the xlWebApp.war/tiles/changePasswordTiles.jsp file. Actually, most of the JSP files are in this place (folder). One thing yuo should be aware of is when you change JSP file. You have to recomplie the war file using patch_your_app_server.sh (patch_your_app_server.bat for Windows) under xellerate/setup folder. Becarefull this will change your configuration files back to original (OOTB) so besure to back up your custom configuration files and put them back after that.

Changing user password in the external LDAP server from weblogic

Hi !
We have been successful in configuring the ldap security realm from weblogic 7.0.
We have also done the user authentication.
Now we want to allow the user himself to change his password from the application.Can
the user password which is stored in an iplanet directory server be changed from
application?If yes , then is there any extra configuration that needs to be done

I am not sure whether u got an answer for this..
But iplanet provides a web-link for end-users to change their LDAP password...u
can just give this link in ur app ..and iplanet will take care of the rest..
