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.

Different Password Policy for Different User Groups in ACS 4.2

Hi All,
Can some one provide a solution for the below requirement?
We do have ACS 4.2 appliance managing firewalls of different clients. The users are common i.e, helpdesk administrators. One of the client came up with setting different password policy for managing their devices i.e, the client wants to have min 15 characters as password length. We do have currently 8 characters as min password length. Can we change the password policy to min 15 characters only for managing the firewalls of this client whereas for all other client firewalls we feel better to have 8 characters as min password length?
It seems that these password policies are global & affects all the users.
This is something like, having two sets of password (for each user) policy depending on the client which he is going to manage.
For my knowledge, i think that this is not possible. But, thought to cross-check with experts!
-Jags.

Hi jags,
Yor're correct. Password policy on ACS will affect all internal user. We can't create different password policies for diferent clients/connections/set_of_users
Password validation options apply only to user passwords that are stored in the ACS internal database. They do not apply to passwords in user records in external user databases; nor do they apply to enable or admin passwords for Cisco IOS network devices.

How to create a password policy for password syntax?

Hi,
I need to apply a password policy in OID that checks the password syntax. We need to verify that the each password contains at least three of the four character groups (Capital Letters / Small Letters / Numbers / Special Characters). In OID, I may only check for minimum Length and a min Number of Numbers. Is there an easy way to do this? (Plugin in OID?)
For the Web-Part (eg. Portal) its quite easy, as we may create a Javascript to check the syntax on the "change password" page, but as we have diffrent types of access, we want to get the rule applied in one place.
Thanks for help
Alex

Hi,
In addition to Martin’s suggestions, we can also choose to change the scope of the existing GPO with Security Filtering.
Regarding Security Filtering, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Set Password Policy For System Administrator Account in UCCE Servers

Hi All,
We want to setup a password policy ( expires in 30 days) for the local administrator account in all our UCCE servers.
We found that the all the UCCE services are running in local system account except logger and distributor( these services are running in domain user account).
Is it a supported configuration ? Are there any impacts with this setting ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Thanks and Regards,
Thammaya

Hi,
what is the UCCE (~ ICM) version? Is there OS hardening applied?
By the way, yes, if you mean the local "administrator" account, you can do whatever you want to do with it, provided you don't lock yourself out - this should not happen, naturally, having all ICM servers in the domain and you can always use the domain admin (or a user belonging to the domain admins group).
By the way, I don't really see the meaning of having a local administrator account being enabled. :-)

Custom Password policy for ProxyAgent

Solaris 10 Server Directory Server LDAP 6.3. Clients are Solaris 10.
The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have my service accounts expiring...
How do you create a custom filter with NO account lockout, expiration, etc? The DSCC wizard doesn't allow you to as the last step of the wizard must have a bug because even though you don't click the Lockout radio button, the webpage asks you to fill in a number for account lockout of 1 to 32768. Ugggh.
Question 2: how do you apply a custom password policy to ALL of ou=people? I can do it one by one to dn's under the ou=people, but I want it on the parent so new users get the custom password policy. Everything I try, the Global Password Policy wins. (And can't seem to be done via the DSCC but rather through command line)
Help.
Thanks,
Sean

The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password
policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have
my service accounts expiring...Password policies have to be applied to individual accounts (manually or via CoS). So you
may need to create a new password policy and assign it to the proxyagent user. Since DSCC
does not seem to allow you to do that, best to munge it via the commandline (after specifying
the lockout in dscc). Yes, it's ugly but a bug has been logged. Please contact Sun Support if
you want a fix against 6.3 (quote the above bug number)

How can I set OIM password policy for OID Users.

Hi,
For me the target resourec is OID. When I create users in OIM, they get provisioned to OID. Their password also gets stored in OID.
Now, I have a password policy in OIM. In that policy, the password exipration day is set to 28 days. After 28 days, the user's password will expire in OIM. Is there any way that password will also expire in OID too, so that user will not be able to login in OID?
Thanks in advance.

You need to do the following.
1. Find the attribute in OID that determines the disable date.
2. Add a field to your provisioning process definition form.
3. Using a pre-populate adapter, use an input of your oim user account expiration date, and convert that to the format OID uses.
4. Update your lookup for provisioning attributes to include this new field to map the field name to the OID attribute.
5. Create an "Updated" task for this field so that when it gets changed, the new value is pushed to OID.
6. Create a user form trigger value for the field that maps to the oim user account expiration field. For this trigger, add a task to your oid provisioning process that does the same tasks as your pre-populate adapter to determine the new date value and pass it to the field on the process form.
Now when the OIM expiration date changes, this value will be passed to OID, and also when the account is first created.
Does this work for you?

What is illegal about table USRPWDHISTORY. It's a regular table so to think that if you don't mention it on public forum then nobody will find it is a bit naive.
There are usually 3 reasons why you have to do some dirty trick: you want to do something wrong, there is a technical limitation in solution or there is something serious wrong with the solution. In my experience the first option is the most common and this case looks to me like the first option. It's not clear from your message what is the purpose of those users but as it was mentioned you can change their type or maybe you can use a different authentication method for them (certificates or SSO) to avoid password issues.

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!!!!

> apply to that department? Will hat work?
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.

Password Policy implementation for SAP users

Dear Friends,
We are planning to implement the Password Policy for SAP users in our organization...
Here my question is,
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
Thank you,
Nikee

Hi
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
SAP Users password will be intact till it prompts for next password change. Say, 90 Days. (Provided Parameter is not set)
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
They will not be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy (provided parameter is not set), During the time of changing the password they would get a dialog box if they have not met the specified criteria indicating that it should have specific values.
Once the password change prompt appears, in order to login to SAP they are forced to change password with password criteria set, other wise they can not login.
Thanks and Regards

Configure a Password Policy

Hi All,
i want to have a password policy for the database. As I found, there's a default table called dba_profiles where we can set password properties for the default database profile in 11g. Actual requirement is to change the sys user's password in every one month time. can i do that using this dba_profiles table?
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S
Can anybody give me a hand to do this please...... if i'm wrong..plss correct me. And if you have any other systematic way to configure a password policy, please let me know....
Thanks in Advance,
Max

DBA_PROFILES is just data dictionary view.But there is a term PROFILES which you can manage user`s passwords and other resources(like max_idle_time).Of course you can use profiles.
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? Yes it will effect other users which assign default profile(default profile is a default for all users you can see that after user creating dba_users.profile column).I suggest you do not change DEFAULT PROFILE settings.So create new your own profile using CREATE PROFILE LIMIT ... clause and assign this to users.
because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S
Can anybody give me a hand to do this please...... if i'm wrong..plss correct me. And if you have any other systematic way to configure a password policy, please let me know....
If you want implement different password policy for different users then create two or more profiles and use these.
Remember that to implementing profiles setting the RESOURCE_LIMIT initialization parameter must be TRUE.

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)
Regards,
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?
