OSX 10.8.2 Change expired Active Directory password at logon screen doesnt work

Hello
My system:
MacBook Pro 2012
OSX 10.8.2
I have a problem with changing e expired Active Directory password at the logon screen.
If i type in the old and the new passwort, it appears a message with following text:
"The password does not meet the requirements of the server"
Even if i type in a password like Tes0t!*2013, the message appears and i can not
change the password.
I have already disabled the "password must meet the password complexity requierements" policy in our default domain policy.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks.
Dani

Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...

Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Active Directory password change error

I have about 10 Macs running 10.4.11 that are bound to Active Directory (Windows 2000 Server).
Users see the warning that their password is about to expire. However, for users who have a local account on the machine, when they attempt to change their password via System Prefs, only the local password is changed - the Active Directory password remains unchanged.
For users who do not have a local account on the machine, this error occurs:
"You cannot change your password to the password you entered. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password."
We have the following password requirements in place via Group Policy: complexity, length, min age (2 days), max age (90 days), history (last 4 remembered).
Oddly, I myself am able to change my Active Directory password just fine via System Prefs. Thinking it was a permissions issue, I created an account with the same AD permissions as mine, but no dice. Oddly, I logged into a different Mac and attempted to change my password there, but received the above error. So not only am I the only one able to change their password, but I can only do this on one of the computers.
Can anyone explain what exactly happens after you click the "change password" button, in terms of what kind of request is sent to our domain controller, and how the domain controller handles that? I'm hoping maybe that will help me to understand what is going wrong.
Thanks.

count me in on the issue as well. this has not always been the case for us. the console shows the directory services crashing and making a crash report. i'd really appreciate a fix for this.
Below is the activity from the console log upon attempting to change the pass.

SAP ECC 6.0 / Active Directory Password synchronization

Hello,
We have a need to synchronize our users Windows passwords (AD) to our SAP systems (ECC 6.0, BW 3.5, and SCM 5.0). We do not use CUA and currently do not use a Portal and are not looking at doing SSO. We simply want to have one repository (AD) that will manage passwords for our Windows apps as well as our SAP systems. So far, we have not found a way to do this. SAP Note 603208 says this kind of synchronizing is not possible due to encryptions, among other things. However, we did find a white paper that stated the following:
~snip
<i>The Management Agents delivered with MIIS generally support password management: <b>they can take a password from some source (either from a user password change from the Windows interface, or from a self-service web-based password reset interface) and can set the same password in the various connected systems</b>. The Management Agent developed by Oxford is no exception. To change a password in an R/3 System the Susr_User_Change_Password_Rfc function can be used, but this is only possible if the old password is known and the SAP system allows the password change for this user. In cases where the old password is not known (for example the setting of an initial password) the password can be reset using the BAPI_User_change function.</i>~snip
Does anyone have any information on how we can achieve the password synchronization between Active Directory and Abap-based SAP Systems?
I very much appreciate your time and help.
Paul

Paul,
You can achieve this using "common authentication". Since Active Directory uses Kerberos, if you allow your SAP systems to support Kerberos authentication as well, then you will be able to logon to Windows workstation, and use the Kerberos credentials issued by Active Directory during this logon to log the user onto SAP.
This is common, and easy to acheive. You need to use the SNC capability which is provided in SAP GUI and also in SAP ABAP engine, and you also need a GSS-API library for both workstations and for the SAP servers that implements the Kerberos protocol. If your SAP server is running on Windows Servers then you can get this GSS-API library from SAP, but if (like many companies) you are running SAP ECC, BW, SCM etc. on UNIX or Linux servers then you need to license a third-party product which provides the GSS-API library etc. I represent a vendor (CyberSafe) that provides this exact product, but you can also find other vendors by looking on SAP partner website, under SNC certified products list. If you want to find out more about our product, please ask me offline by getting my email address from my business card.
I hope this helps. Of course, if there are any questions for me related to this which are appropriate for public viewing then please ask them via this forum instead of via email.

Tim

Connector for Active Directory Password Sync

Friends,
We have some questions about the Connector for Active Directory Password Sync:
1. There is a need to extend the AD schema when using this connector.
2. If I have 10 domain controllers and are not synchronized, the documentation tells us to install the dll in each domain controller. Is there any way to do this if necessary, to install this dll in a single domain controller?
Thanks for your help.
regards

Definitely:
For your Point-1 Look for the Preinstallation section in the AD Password Sync Connector Guide which talks nothing about extending AD schema which supports the validity of the statement.
For your Point-2 Look for Metalink Article-432727.1 which confirms that the connector has to be installed on all the DC's
Thanks

Unable to change Active Directory password on OSX

I'm working IT in a Windows environment with Active Directory services. We have some Macs in the environment, mostly running 10.8, but all definitely running 10.6.8 or later.
The issue lies with changing passwords. When a user attempts to change his password in the Users & Groups pane of System Prefs, it will throw an error about either complexity, systems admin permission, or some other issue. THESE PASSWORDS DO MEET ALL COMPLEXITY REQUIREMENTS AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR OWN PASSWORDS.
I obviously need to look further into the user accounts but for the most part they are mobile accounts and the machine is on the domain before the specific user account is ever created. Also Keychain access is set to sync with account.
The only solution I've been able to come up with is to reset the users password back to their old password through AD.
I don't even know where to begin to resolve this issue, the ideal solution is that a user can change their password in OSX and have it populate across the domain just like it does on Windows.
Help!!!
Thanks for your time.

Changes in Active Directory not reflected in SharePoint user info

I have change the manager & name in Active directory but it's not reflecting in sharepoint. I found one command
stsadm -o migrateuser
   -oldlogin <domain\name>
   -newlogin <domain\name>
   [-ignoresidhistory]
But i don't want to do one by one i have many users is there any command for migrate all updated user information

The migrateuser command is really only when a user's ID changes. Making changes such as name and manager should still be reflected under the original ID. If the changes doesn't propagate, ensure that your User Profile Service Sync completed successfully.
Check for errors and address any you find. A successful sync will propagate the changes properly.
Start here:

I trust that answers your question...

Change in Active Directory Domain where a SAP landscape is installed

Dear fellow forum members,
the IT team of one of our customers is planning a change in their Microsoft Active Domain forest in their LAN: as their SAP ERP systems are all domain installations, they have asked me, as their BASIS consultant, if this activity could harm in any way their SAP landscape.
The SAP ERP Systems are domain installations on two Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit hosts.
This is the activity they plan to do is to replace an old Windows Server 2003 domain controller with a Windows Server 2012 domain controller. These are the steps they will do:
1) Add the new Windows Server 2012 domain controller to the forest;
2) Move the main roles from the old Windows Server 2003 domain controller to the new 2012 one, following the procedure recommended by Microsoft;
3) Remove the old Windows 2003 R2 domain controller from the forest.
During all the procedure, their current Windows Server 2008 domain controller will remain active and functional. At the end of the procedure, the domain will then be updated to a Windows Server 2008 structure, from the actual 2003.
I can't see any problem in this procedure: at least one domain controller will always remain active so the SAP users <sid>adm and SAPService<SID> will be able to authenticate on the domain with no interruptions. Also the SAP hosts won't change name, FQDN, IP address or configuration.
But I'm not a Microsoft AD expert and this procedure can't be tested beforehand, because all the SAP systems belong to the same domain obviously.
I've searched through the SAP knowledge base and I can't find any note or document that is relevant to this activity.
I've also opened a ticket to SAP, but they basically replied that the Active Directory is a matter for the Microsoft consultants, not SAP. They also recommended I post my question on the forum so here I am.
So I'd like to ask you if you foresee any problems with this procedure, and if you can recommend preparation activities or any other kind of precautions.
Thanks, kind regards.

Hi Marcello,
I can tell you that the Network Operations group at my organization have upgraded the domain controllers a few times (Windows 2000 -> Windows 2003, then Windows 2003 -> Windows 2012), and other than some warning about potential disruptions during the maintenance window, they didn't otherwise even include the SAP Basis group in the discussion! So, it happened, we did nothing special for SAP to prepare (nor afterwards), and basically we didn't even notice. It made no difference to SAP. Other aspects of network/domain functionality, especially our Exchange email server, experienced more disruption than SAP did.
So, in conclusion, I think that your IT team can proceed, and other than keeping an eye on things and testing basic things, like network communication, afterwards, there isn't much you need to do. Your main concern is that there always be a functioning domain controller (and DNS server). Do they have a rollback plan if things go south for them?
Regards,
Matt

Change to active directory based security

Hi,
I have installed and configured Essbase with shared services based security and not in standalone mode.
The client is now wanting to use active directory based security.
I have seen John Goodwin's (I'm not worthy!) excellent blog on active directory with standalone ( More to life than this...: Standalone Essbase using external authentication ), but as stated I am not on standalone.
Can anyone advise me how the config differs from what you need to do in standalone mode and also how to reinvoke the configuration tool post install / configuration?
Many thanks,
Robert.

You can add the external directory in Shared Services at any point.
Just follow the documentation - Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide
Cheers

Users can't change Active directory password on MACs

When they change the account password thought system perferences, the changes are not being passed to the DC and federated services server.
I have logged off and logged back in, And rebooted. If they open the login keychain it will update but is there any way a end user can change there password with out involving IT?
Mac are runing 10.6.8 and 6.5.1 AD .

Hi,
One of our users has iMac, 10.6.8.
She has not got any local account.
She logs on to AD domain, with domain ID
When after 40 days or so she is asked the change the password; it does not work.
If we change it for here through AD or through another Windows PC, it works.
Could you please let me know the best course of action for this type of users who are not administrators of iMac?
I tested by changing my account's PAssword and it worked( I have administrative role).

Upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite breaks Active Directory. Is there a fix / work-around?

I work for an organization that uses Active Directory (Windows Server 2008, I believe) for user account management and also for managing printer shares. Until Yosemite, OS X worked brilliantly with AD and our user accounts and machines were bound easily and reliably. When any user upgrades to Yosemite, the process occurs without a hitch except that AD connectivity breaks.
The color indicator for Network Account Server in Users & Groups is green, indicating that believes the connection to the directory server is OK. If you select "Edit" for the directory configuration - everything looks as it did before. However, if one attempts to access the Active Directory tree using Directory Utility it displays the error "Connection failed to node '/Active Directory/COMPANY/All Domains'. If one uses the command line utility 'dscl' to attempt to list AD entries, you also get errors:
> ls Active\ Directory/COMPANY
All Domains
> ls Active\ Directory/COMPANY/All\ Domains
ls: Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)
If I go to add a printer, I can no longer retrieve the printer list from the domain.
I have checked, and there DNS search domains are correctly configured and fully configured properly on all the computers involved. They can all ping the AD servers, and if I used dig to check for SRV records for LDAP (_ldap._tcp.directory.company.com), they are correct.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on? What's changed and how to fix it?

We spent over a month trying to find a fix for this issue, and even your fix didn't work.
Same as you we have forest AD.LOCAL and domain as domain.com.
We are sure the DNS settings are fine, the green light is on and it even authenticate as it said my password will expire in X days. But it never pass the loading login screen.
Can anyone assist please?
Thanks.

Active Directory & password expiry

Hello,
I'm testing Sun Secure Global Desktop software 4.2 with active directory login authority but Ihave some problems with the password expiry.
Ifollowed the instructions in manual step by step, but I'm experiencing errors and the password expiry doesn't work at all.
Here's my krb5.conf file:
[libdefaults]
default_realm = DMZ2.ZUCCHETTI.IT
default_checksum = rsa-md5
kdc_timesync = 1
udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DMZ2.ZUCCHETTI.IT = {
kdc = eracle.dmz2.zucchetti.it
kdc = eraclebk.dmz2.zucchetti.it
admin_server = dmz2.zucchetti.it
kpasswd_protocol = SET_CHANGE
[domain_realm]
.dmz2.zucchetti.it = DMZ2.ZUCCHETTI.IT
dmz2.zucchetti.it = DMZ2.ZUCCHETTI.IT
and my Sun Secure Global Desktop software error log:
2006/01/20 15:09:32.822 (pid 2036) server/login/error #1137766172822
Sun Secure Global Desktop Software (4.2) ERROR:
Unable to change the password for user .../_service/sco/tta/ldapcache/CN=test8,OU=ASP Commercialisti,D
C=DMZ2,DC=ZUCCHETTI,DC=IT.
Users will be unable to change their passwords.
Ensure that the AD connection is correctly configured ( admin_server
setting and "kpasswd_protocol = SET_CHANGE" in krb5.conf, as appropriate),
and that the new password passes any directory server constraints.
In my krb5.conf file, I forced the use of TCP, instead of UDP ( line udp_preference_limit = 1) and I opened all the required TCP ports in my firewall.
I even looked at firewall log and I've noticed that no traffic UDP is filtered.
What's wrong with my configuration?
Can you help me, please?
Many Thanks

Any news on this? We are experiencing the same issue.
Also, when an AD passwd is expired and OS X is locked, the users are unable to logon as they get no prompt to enter a new password.
Only options then isto hard reset the MAC, at the logon screen, they do get a prompt to enter a new password.

Oracle account and microsoft active directory password synchronisation

Hi
We are migrating our application to use windows active directory authentication. We have separate oracle account for
each logged in user in the application, and these oracle credentials have to be the same as the windows active directory
credentials.
Also, a password change on windows Active directory should change the oracle account password.
Is there a tool available to manage and synchronize the microsoft active directory and oracle account.
We use oracle 10g and application is hosted on Windows 2008 server.
Thanks
Karthik

There's an OOTB connector for Password Synch between AD -> OIM. Please use that.

For password synch, OIM- AD/Oracle, you can use triggers.

LDAP bindError: Active Directory Password Filter is not working

Hi,
I have setup the OID Server in SSL mode by following the instruction given in OIM Admin
Guide.
I am able to bind the OID using ldapbind from OID server and ldapbindssl from system on which AD is install.
but in the logs of Password Filter where AD is present following Error logs.
"LDAP bindError"
Server Unavailable
OR
Unable to connect to OID
I am using OID 10.1.2 on which Portal is install and using Active Directory 2003.
I also tried with Active Diectory 2000.but getting same message.
Regards,
RB

Hi,
run the AD Pwd filter installer again, and make sure you provide the correct full hostname of the OID server, and also "cn=orcladmin" as the OID user and the password.
It happens sometimes that the installer does not write the correct values to the windows registry and so the PWD Filter does not get the correct information.
If ldapbindssl is working then the pwd filter will work also, if the correct information is in the registry.
The values are stored in the registry on:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\orclidmpwf
Best regards,
