Password history

Hi everybody!
My Client using oracle 10g rel 1 on linux.
All of a sudden they realized that the application password was not working they tried couple of tries but they had to change the password by themselves.
When they told me to check , i could see that the specified user was already open status, it was not Timed Lock. The user was using profile with 20 failed attempts PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME is UNLIMITED.
The strange thing for me was that sys.user_history$ was returning No rows so i could not see any history about it. But sys.user$ view shows PTIME (Changed password at 17.03 ) and LTIME 16:58.
My Question :
Is there any way that enables me to see the history of past time for password change. Actually i wana investigate what went wrong with the password that the end user had to change the password because it was stuck.
Why USER_HISTORY$ view not returning any rows.
And what LTIME column in USER$ view.
Hope to see the reply soon :)
Ciao and Merry Chrismiss!
Regards
M

Check PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME in your profile.
If this parameter is set to some days, after those specified days, the password will be expired and user is required to change the password.
select * from dba_profiles
where profile='<your profile name in caps>'
and resource_name='PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME';Edited by: Street Hawk on Dec 23, 2008 9:05 AM

How to set Password History in ACS? Sarbanes-Ox...

I am using acs 4.0 for tacacs auth to network devices. I need to be able to force the password history to prevent users from using any of the previous 5 passwords. I see that there is an option to prevent from using the "last" one, but not 5. Can I overwrite this somewhere?
thanks -j

Clearing out previous password history

Hi everyone! As part of our User maintenance is to clear out old user password histories. Just want to ask if there's a way that i could clear out the old/previous password history of a user?
Thank you very much in advance!

Wow - to get a response from The John Burton, I feel so honored!
No, John, I believe that you are talking about when you are on the Account Identification Screen. I am talking about when you have confirmed the customer and are on the Interaction Record Screen and you realize that you want to exit without adding a record. By clicking on END, it exits but creates a blank interaction record. When I click on Cancel, the screen exits to the Home Page but when the user goes into the interaction record for the next customer, the details on the botton of the screen (Last Interactions) is from the previous customer. It is as the Cancel does not clear out the previous information.
Thanks for your time,
Simon

Password history in IDM7.0

Hi all,
I have a requirement where i need to enable the password history for end user(for reset password and change password also).Can anybody give a solution for me???
Thanks in advance.......

Enabling password history is done from the Security > Policies tab.
Edit the default Password Policy and add a number to Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused.
Make sure this password policy is selected in Default Identity Manager Account Policy.

I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

If you do not want PEAP, have you tried exporting a .mobileconfig profile with *just* EAP-SIM security enabled?

Clearing out password history

Hi,
Is there any way that we could clear out password history for the user?
Thanks in advance

As you have the database, so you can literally do anything with the OIM User Records but that is never recommended and strictly against the Audit n Compliance. If yo just wanna do it for User's Password management then try to do it using password policies.

Password History Depth

Hello,
Re: password history depth, SAP note 2467 (dated: 7-12-06) states: The size of the password history is static (5) and cannot be customized. Is SAP considering making this value configurable?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s (ABAP 7.00) you can configure the size of the password history. There have been also quite a lot of other changes (regarding authentication) - see <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/862989">SAP Note 862989</a>.

How can I see password history on mac

Hi!
I need to reset password to preious.
But i don't know it. Maybe there are some option
to see the password history?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately, it's not possible to see old passwords.
If you want to reset your user password, see > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

Firefox deleted ALL of my data (bookmarks,passwords,history, etc.) The data on my pc was also re-started somehow.

After deleting three add-ons and refreshing firefox I realized that all my data (bookmarks,passwords,history, log-ins, everything) was deleted. I went to the help site and tried everything suggested. Nothing worked. The files that are supposed to have my old firefox data on my pc was also deleted. I'm at my wits end and at this point I'm getting tired of firefox.

Well, it's pretty clear how we can make a backup with iTunes, but the backup is:
1. closed and cryptic - no way to verify if it's valid or not
2. must use iTunes to restore - if something bad happens with iTunes, the data is lost forever
We need a way to ACCESS our personal data without using iTunes.
As I said, iTunes is hideous, unintuitive and buggy.
Unlike the iPhone, or any other Apple product, with iTunes It's not clear how to operate all the different menus and knobs and preferences. It is not clear what iTunes is actually doing behind all those menus and buttons and options.
It's frustrating, and it is becoming a burden on the entire product.
And the fact that I can't rescue my personal data from those iTunes backup files is annoying and bothering. I don't have the time to start hexediting those files, hoping for a miracle.
Apple, I must say, with iTunes, you completely blew it.

Siteminder password history

When I integrate the IDM with Siteminder login module and a password change occurs via IDM it seems the password history is not updated for Siteminder. The displayName field needs to be updated when we reset the passwords.
All the updates are stored in the display name (expired, history, etc.)
Is there an outstanding issue regarding this or does anyone know a solution?
Thanks

I faced similar problem. I was not able to reset the siteminder password using IDM and later I got information that this is a bug with siteminder adapter and later I did through an external java bean.

Ability to check password history without trying to set password?

Is there a way to check a given password against a user's current password & password history without trying to set their password?
The user's policy has the "passwordInHistory" and some other password policies enabled.
If possible, could this be done via a non root (cn=directory manager) account granted the correct permissions?
Edited by: raymondrewalker on Feb 2, 2010 10:02 AM

The attribute with past password is pwdHistory. The current password is in userPassword. You can do a ldapsearch to fetch them.
And you can use the pwdhash command to check if the hashed value match a specific password. The command should look like this:
/opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/pwdhash -D ... -c {SSHA}encryptedpassword== testpassword
With a little script it's possible to do this in an automatic way. I don't know if anyone can run the pwdhash command and how to give permission to the userPassword and pwdHistory attributes.

Disabling password history

Hi,
We have 4.6C, ECC 6.0, and NW 2004s. Our company has purchased a 3rd party product, Avatier, to control passwords corporate wide. The security team is asking about the feasability of disabling password history in our SAP environments and removing SAP's password expiration (it would be controlled by Avatier). We can set the password expiration to 0, but I see no mechanism to stop storing password history in SAP.
Is there a technique for stopping SAP in 4.6C, ECC 6.0, and NW 2004s from storing and tracking the last 5 passwords?
Best regards,
Russ

Well, this topic has been discussed many times in SDN before.
But the truth still remains unchanged: password synchronization does not work (in general).
In almost all cases the real intention is: Single Sign-On.
So, if a user should have only one password then this password must not be replicated / synchronized but there should be a central place where the password is validated. Take UNIX or Microsoft Windows as an example: no-one would try to synchronize local accounts across multiple servers using a file copy approach. Instead, a domain controler approach is used.
For the ABAP system this means: you have to use a proper SSO mechanism - then you can even delete / disable the password in the ABAP system.
Notice: ABAP systems are not the only systems with a (local) password policy. There are many different password policy implementations - and it might not be possible to define a common policy for all systems which are supposed to participate in a "password synchronization federation". That's a fact.
I'm really estonished to see how many people still only think of passwords when talking of authentication.
And consequently they believe that passwords need to be used (and consequently also synchronized) if a user should be able to logon to multiple systems without being forced to proof his identity to each and every of those systems (that's what is commonly referred to as "Single Sign-On"). That's really a kind of stupid conclusion: "logon = password authentication" -> "SSO = automated password authentication, based on password synchronization".
Well, you cannot derive a solution from a wrong assumption (ex falso quodlibet).
Instead, the assumption needs to be revised.

Is it possible to disable the password history parameter?

Hello,
We are using NW04s
Is it possible to disable the password history parameter completely? The current value can be between 1 and 100 only.

Hmmm,
since >90% of the users will try to enter their old password (which will be accepted without password history), I think it won't make much of a difference to not asking them
Anyway, may be you take a look at table USR02 as old passwords appear here. Idea is to write a report which clears the old entries... But to fiddle around with passwords is a very special thing...so it's just an idea...
Over and out,
Peter
Points always appreciated

Resetting passwords in AD LDS not honoring password history via Java ldap api

I am trying to implement reset password functionality for accounts in Windows 2012 R2 AD
LDS via java ldap api. But it is not honoring password history constraint. When I tried to implement change password it is enforcing password history. I am using the following code to reset password.
@Override
public void updatePassword(String password) throws LdapException {
try {
String quotedPassword = "\"" + password + "\"";
char unicodePwd[] = quotedPassword.toCharArray();
byte pwdArray[] = new byte[unicodePwd.length * 2];
for (int i=0; i pwdArray[i*2 + 1] = (byte) (unicodePwd[i] >>> 8);
pwdArray[i*2 + 0] = (byte) (unicodePwd[i] & 0xff);
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[]{new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,new
BasicAttribute("UnicodePwd", pwdArray))};
LdapContext ldapContext = (LdapContext)ldapTemplate.getContextSource().getReadWriteContext();
final byte[] controlData = {48,(byte)132,0,0,0,3,2,1,1};
BasicControl[] controls = new BasicControl[1];
final String LDAP_SERVER_POLICY_HINTS_OID = "1.2.840.113556.1.4.2239";
controls[0] = new BasicControl(LDAP_SERVER_POLICY_HINTS_OID, true, controlData);
ldapContext.setRequestControls(controls);
ldapContext.modifyAttributes(getRelativeDistinguishedName(), mods);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new LdapException("Failed to update password for:" + this.getDistinguishedName(),
e);
Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Hi,
I suggest you check password policy on the AD LDS server.
If the server is under workgroup mode, then local password policy is applied; if it is domain-joined, domain password policy over-rides local password policy, you may also need to check if there is any PSO configured.
More information for you:
AD DS: Fine-Grained Password Policies
