Locking an account with password compare

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to lock an account using compare on userPassword or some mechanism other than the user binding directly to the LDAP service?
We have a service that binds as a service and searches for a DN based on the UID entered by the user. Currently the service then has to bind using the returned DN to use the password policy lockout features. I would rather that once bound as the service that it could compare the userPassword immediately.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,
You have to setup a user account in LDAP who has access to read (only) the userPassword attribute (ACI).
The initial bind should be performed under this user's credentials.
You also have to hash the user password with the chosen hashing algorithm.
You either do ldapsearch for userPassword and compare on the application level
or do ldapcompare to compare the values immediately.
However having a user (other that directory manager) that can read the userPassword
is not recommended for security reasons. I would stick in DSEE's internal mechanisms
for password lockout policies unless you're willing to write (secure) code
to invent it all over again.
Best regards,
Giannis

  • How to lock a folder with password ?

    Please tell me how to lock a folder with password (to keep personal files)

    Keep looking it can be done. I have a folder on my hard drive that requires a password everytime I try to open it. I found how to do this in an old "Mac OS - The missing manual" but don't remember off the top of my head how I did it. I remember you have to partition a portion of the hard drive, I think I did like 10 Gig of my 1 Teribite external drive and then you give it a name and make up a password. The password is NOT changeable and if you lose it you can't get back in that folder. It appears as a standard folder but needs a password to open it.
    Email me direct if you can't find any info and I will try to look it up - [email protected]

    Have you tested this throughly?
    As an example 'lock' Safari via your method.
    Now use Spotlight to search for Safari, tap it - is it 'locked'?
    Now go to your email & find a link to click - Safari opens again.
    Guided access is not a 'lock' in any sense of the word, it is a tool designed to stop things happening, but many apps have multiple ways to be found or launched you can't easily block them all.
    Mallik_Hyderabad, iOS doesn't have this feature & Apple do not seem interested in adding it (7.5 years & it still isn't an option) - use a passcode with a lock screen timeout if you have any sensitive data on the device or get an Android device.

  • This is my 3rd email: Can not open my account with password

    Firefox will not accept my password. I have reentered it: 8 characters, number and upper and lower case, no symbols. Cookies accepted. I have used my old ID and opened two more accounts to access your help desk. This is my third email account I have used to open. I just sent them under [email protected] and [email protected] Once I exit, I can not reenter, even though I have used the reset several times based on emails sent to me. Please respond to my email account(s) as I can not access this forum under the user names under which I asked this question, once I leave the site.
    By the way, my original request was to find out the difference between FF 35.0.0 which I just installed and 34.0.5 it replaces. I can not find that info on the web site or by a query under Google.

    Hello emptybeeff, basically differences are here :

  • When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes from my ipod.yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered. HELP!!

    When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.

    If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/

  • How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?

    How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?  When an employee leaves a business and the company has purchased the equipment, the company should have the rights to reissue the equipment and Apple should provide an alternative to unlock the equipment from the employee's personal APPLE account and password so the company (that purchased the equipment) can reissue the line and equipment to another employee.

    If you can prove ownership to Apple, they may be able to help you.
    The best way of handing things would be strong policies requiring that the equipment be turned in in a usable state. i.e. not activation locked. Failing this, the employee should be charged the cost of the replacement phone. Held from their final paycheck if required.

  • Locking one partition with a password or protecting it otherwise

    I have an internal HD that is partitioned. Would it be possible to lock one partition with a password or protect it from prying eyes when I let a 'stranger' use my computer? I know I could put a folder on it with TrueCrypt, but since I would only want to occasionally lock the disk, it is not really an option.
    Love to hear.

    Thnaks Király
    Use Finder -> Get Info on the drive to change the permissions on your partition. Set your user account to be the owner, and then set Group and Others to No Access. Then let guests use any other user account than your own.
    Good one had not thought of that. Is however as Thomas said not a optimal solution as there are ways around it.
    Is there a way to make the disk invisible and not accessible? Or have it not mount for certain users?

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • HT4484 I let my grandson open an apple account with my credit card.  He has been charging a little to much and I would like my credit card removed from this account.  I do not know the apple id or password.  How do i proceed?

    I let my grandsn open and itunes account with my credit card.  I want to remove my cc# from his account.  I do not know his apple id or password.  How do I proceed?

    I would say let him fess up and give him a chance to mend his ways, but there is at least one app that goes for $900 (according to another poster's request for a refund).  You may end up $1000+ deeper gone.
    Change the account number which will close the current links and freeze/prevent charges under the old number.  As I understand it Apple gets grumpy when charges get rejected, and you need to jump through hoops to get a payment method reattached.
    Yes this is a grumpy answer.
