Password Policy : PwdMustChange problem

Hi,
i'm facing some strange issues with the password policy under Oracle Directory Server v6.3.
I modified the global policy to force user to change their password after administrative reset.
In the policy i see PwdMustChange set on TRUE.
The problem is that it has no effects on users.
I use several administrative accounts (including directory manager) to change user password (made a reset) and it is still possible to log with their account.
I don't get it, it's like the property PwdMustChange had no effect.
Has anyone faced this problem??
Thanks

The "must change" state does not prevent a user from logging in. It only requires that the next LDAP operation that the user does on that open connection be a MOD where the user changes his own password. All subsequent operations other than the password reset will fail (most likely with err=53 - DSA Unwilling To Perform).
However, many applications will not do anything subsequent as the user. In other words, the BIND will succeed and then the application will go on about its business servicing the user, because the way the application code is written, it doesn't need to do anything other than the BIND to authenticate the user, and the BIND has succeeded.
When an LDAP-enabled application is going to integrate with the LDAP password policy model, it needs to consume LDAP controls properly. In this case, the BIND request and response should include a password policy control that indicates the user must reset his password. This is how, even in the case of an application that need not do anything except BIND, the password policy functionality can work.
If you want to verify that the server's password policy is working, you can do it in a number of ways. If you have the audit log turned on, when the administrative reset occurs, you should see some server-side modifications to the user that set a "must reset" operational attribute. If you do ldapsearch as the user, you should get an informational message that the search has failed. Depending on which ldapsearch tool you use, you may get a fairly informative message about the user needing to reset his password and/or the server being unwilling to service the SRCH request. If your ldapsearch as the user succeeds immediately after the admin reset, then the server password policy is not set up correctly.

Problems Implementation Password Policy on OIM 9.1.0

Hello,,,
Please help me,
i was create password policy on OIM, i inject that pass policy to one of resource object, i create object form and process form with same configuration ( field table ), i use data flow to transmit the data between object form and process form..
i set process definition with check AUTO SAVE FORM, and AUTO PRE-POPULATE,
the Problems is :
1. When i try to do provisioning process ( with delegated admin : xelsysadm ) to that resource object (target system) , after admin submit , status process is provisioning, and the detail is System Validation : Pending
2. Then i try to remove password policy on resource object, and i try again to do the provisioning, and the process working fine, status process provisioned, detail process
system validation : completed, Create user : completed
why it'is happen ?
that the important point is, why AUTO SAVE FORM cannot working fine if i inject Password Policy on resource Object...
Warm regards,
Ricky R
Manila

When you say you have checked auto prepop means that there are pre pops attached to certain fields on your process form that you want to be auto triggered before provisioning commences. So i'm assuming that you are pre-populating password field. Is the password value that you are prepopping the field with conform to the standards of the password policy? If not that could be the reason why your provisioning process isnt getting kicked off. you will need to supply a password (either manually or if you want to automate it (pre pop it)) that coforms to the password policy defined on the resource object. Also i think the name of the password field must be _PASSWORD.

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?

Sun Directory Server Password Policy Problems

Hi,
I am using Sun Directory Server and Sun AM (2005Q1).
We are using SUN DS to configure the password policy to expire user passwords after 30 days.
Also, the warning has been set to "one day before expiry". However, when the warning IS displayed to the user and the user changes his/her password on display of the warning, even though the user's password expiration timestamp attribute contains a new timestamp (which is 30 days hence the date of change), on next login user is AGAIN thrown the warning that his/her password will expire in "HH hours: MM mins".
I do not understand what needs to be done to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

How is the user authenticated ? Through Access Manager or directly to the Directory Server ?
Access Manager can be configured to handle Password expiration, and so can Directory Server. I would advise you to check which system is actually throwing the warning.
Regards,
Ludovic

DSEE 6.3.1 password policy issue

We're rolling out a network wide password policy on both our LDAP and AD environments. The two are synchronized using Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0. Today, in my test environment I enabled the password policies that we plan to implement. Since we never had any 5.x directory servers, I set the password policy mode to be Directory Server 6 mode. After configuring everything I tried changing a users password in the AD domain and ISW picked up the change however the following error showed up in the ISW audit log:
[16/Feb/2011:16:56:03.957 -0500] FINE 18 CNN100 beer-ds01 "LDAP operation on entry uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=beer,dc=com failed at ldaps://beer-ds01.lab.endeca.com:636, error(53): LDAP server is unwilling to perform ((Password Policy: modify policy entry) "objectClass=passwordPolicy" is not supported in pwdCompat:4 (DS6-mode).)." (Action ID=CNN101-12E30785AA8-1, SN=7)When I then tried the same password change directly against the directory server using ldapmodify, I saw the same error:

It turns out that when I setup the ISW install I, for a reason that now I cannot comprehend nor remember, added the passwordPolicy objectclass to the auxillary objectclasses used when created a new user. Since that objectclass is a 5.x objectclass my problems started when I moved to pwd-compat DS6-mode. I was able to restore my test systems from a backup, remove the objectclass from the ISW config and then proceed with the password policy rollout which worked fine this time around. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

Password policy not used by WebGate after upgrade (6.1 - 10g)

Hello,
Recently, we upgrade our environment from Oblix Netpoint 6.1 to Oracle Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
Together with this update we also upgraded the WebGates that are running on the machines that have OAM 10g installed. We did not perform an upgrade on the WebGates that are running on other web servers. These are still running with the old version.
The problem we have now is that it seems that our upgraded WebGates don't respect our Password policy. The earlier versions of our WebGate still respect our policy.
Machine A has OAM 10g installed with an upgraded WebGate (WebGate A). This machine also runs an IIS web server (web server A) which is connected to the WebGate on that machine. The WebGate is configured with OAM 10g on that same machine.
On web server A, there is a protected website.
Our password policy is defined as follow:
-number of login tries allowed: 5
-lockout duration: 20000000 hours
-login tries reset: 200 days
I now try to access my protected website on web server A with User1. Every time I enter a wrong password.
When I verify this in our Active Directory, I can see that the value of oblogintrycount for User1 increments until 5. When oblogintrycount equals 5, the attribute oblockouttime is added to the profile of User1.
My user is now supposed to be locked but when I try to login one more time, the value of oblogintrycount is 1 again and the attribute oblockouttime is gone. My user is unlocked again.
I repeat the same test on web server B that is installed on a different machine. This machine has an earlier version of WebGate installed. This WebGate B is configured with the same OAM 10g as WebGate A.
I can see in the Active Directory that the value of oblogintrycount for User1 is incremented until it equals 5. At this point, the oblockouttime attribute is added to the profile of User1.
I see now in my browser a message that my user is locked. When I try to login one more time, my user stays locked.
Has anyone an idea how this problem can be solved or how this can happen?
Kind regards,
Lennaart

This is just a trial and error suggestion may not actually solve the problem.
Can you check configuration changes that one has to make with upgraded web gates. That configuration may not be correct and hence you might be getting this problem.

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.

802.1x, IP Phones, MAB and AD password policy

I am currently working on an 802.1x pilot. I have successfully deployed certificates for PCs and users and I'm able to assign VLAN etc in a reliable fashion.
I would like to enable MAC Authentication Bypass on the voice VLAN for IP phones. The problem is, when I create a user with the phones MAC address as a user name, or AD Domain policy does not allow the password to also be the mac address. Disabling this policy temporarily for adding these users is not a credible solution for us. I'd rather not use third party software that allows for diversity in AD password policy.
I've seen it implied that the switch (3560 in my case) can be configured to send the Radius secret rather than the device MAC address as the device's password, is this true? If so, how?
Thanks!

With MAC-Auth-Bypass, the end station (phone in your case) doesn't interact with the auth method at all. The switch authenticates the MAC after being learned by the switch on behalf of the end-station.
This is a limitation in Windows Server today. This can be controlled through a GPO in Server 2008. Another option(s) is to store the "phone user accounts" directly on the AAA server or another database that allows the ability for this.
Also, to authenticate a phone at all, and to support PCs, you need to configure Multi-Domain-Authentication (MDA) on the 3560. See here:

Hope this helps,

What is the Best way to apply granular password policy

I am trying to apply Fine Grain Password Policy in small groups to my users, I have set the password expiry to 10 days
for testing. But the moment I apply the policy, users start getting password change notifications immediately, Outlook or
Lync start asking for a new password.
Should it not wait for 5 days to start poping-up on the clients that they have 5 days left to change there passwords.
What is the best I can do not to disturb the users, I cannot do this at night because most users have mobile devices. Windows 2012

Hi Petro,
In addition to Mihai's answer, also consider checking/changing the 'Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration' which by default is 14 days. I think there is a default notice period of 5 days but for Windows 7 or 2008 R2
servers that don't have a Group policy overriding the local policy (not domain joined). I am not sure how that applies to 2012. So if you haven't changed that to 5 days, it might be the cause of the problem.
On a PSO object I don't think you can set the password change notification.
The settings can be found in Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.

Best way to force password policy on users within 1-2 weeks?

We have a Server 2008 R2 domain.
I'd read that the password policy in GPO is only available for Computer Configuration, not User Configuration? Is that correct?
If so, that's not very flexible and will make things trickier for us.
And regarding enforcing a password policy with a GPO on our local domain, do you know of a way to force users to change their passwords within say 1 week? (the only options I know of are on the AD User account properties check a box "User
must change password at next logon" (then you'd have to force them to log out) OR relying on AD's internal formula:
webactivedirectory.com/.../how-active-directory-calculates-account-password-expiration-dates . The problem I see with the latter is if your user hasn't changed their pw for a year you'd have to wait a year+how many days you set for max password
age?
spnewbie

To add, the password policy is applied at the domain level and only works at the domain level. It's not the fact that it's at the "Computer Level" or "User Level" or not, it's the fact that it's only set at the domain level.
Account policies (Password, Lockout and Kerb), are all under the Computer Config because it forces it to apply to all user accounts that access all machines.
If you tried to create a password policy at any other level (any OU), it won't work. The only option is to use PSOs, as Mahdi pointed out.
As for that Spiceworks thread, I would suggest to post a question about a specific product to the product vendor's support forum for accurate responses.
Here's an excerpt from MOC 6425C Configuring and Troubleshooting Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, page 10-8 (and this applies to all versions of AD):
Active Directory supports one set of password and lockout policies for a domain. These policies are configured in a GPO that is scoped to the domain. A new domain contains a GPO called the Default Domain Policy that is linked to the domain and that includes
the default policy settings for password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies. You can change the settings by editing the Default Domain Policy GPO.
The best practice is to edit the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify the password policy settings for your organization. You should also use the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify account lockout policies and Kerberos policies. Do not use the Default
Domain Policy GPO to deploy any other custom policy settings. In other words, the Default Domain Policy GPO only defines the password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies for the domain. Additionally, do not define password, account lockout, or Kerberos
policies for the domain in any other GPO.
The password settings configured in the Default Domain Policy affect all user accounts in the domain. The settings can be overridden, however, by the password-related properties of the individual user accounts. On the Account tab of a user's Properties dialog
box, you can specify settings such as Password Never Expires or Store Passwords Using Reversible Encryption. For example, if five users have an application that requires direct access to their passwords, you can configure the accounts for those users to store
their passwords by using reversible encryption.

Strong Password Policy

Hello,
I have done a little looking around and I think I see a couple of possible
solutions to implement strong password policies. Identity Manager, and
Connectotel. Is this all there is? Identity Manager seems like overkill for
a single Netware server and Connectotel seems weak as there are files on
each workstation. Not to mention the trouble of having to go desktop to
desktop.
Am I missing something here? What's the easiest way to implement a strong
password policy in a Netware Small Business environment with 25 Windows
desktops?
TIA,
Lou

Hi Anders,
Yes that appears to be the problem... now a new problem. When I choose to
edit the policy I have no check boxes or drop down lists to choose alternate
settings. I guess I will create a new policy. However if you know how I
should make changes I'd sure like to know.
Thanks so much for your help,
Lou

Password policy not applying properly

I have set password policy for my domain that
Maximum age: 60days
Minimum age is: 45days
but I get messages every week that passwords would expire in 4 days
I checked using rsop.msc and policy seems to be correctly applied.
what could be the problem?

> Maximum age: 60days
> but I get messages every week that passwords would expire in 4 days
If your GPO is applied correctly, this simply means that the last
password change was 56 days ago.
> I checked using rsop.msc and policy seems to be correctly applied.
On the client? Your user is not a local user on the client, but most
probably a domain user. So you need to check RSoP.msc on the PDC
emulator, not on the client.
> what could be the problem?
You forgot to link your password policy to the domain, and after doing
so, make sure you move it upwards above the existing "default domain
policy". In the security filter, add at least "Domain Controllers" -
better leave "Authenticated Users". And finally, do not block
inheritance on the "domain controllers" OU.

Windows 2003 Password Policy Ignored in Default Domain Policy

Hi there I've a problem on my DC.
i set in the "default domain policy" the settings form the policy password lenght complexity etc etc..
When i RUN Group policy modelling simulation i cannot view the settings of Windows Settings\Security Settings\account policy\password policy
the scope of the GPO is Authenticated
the GPO seems to be ignored for the security settings but not for the other parameters like kerberos security.
Any Idea to solve this issue?

Hi Federico,
>>i cannot view the settings of Windows Settings\Security Settings\account policy\password policy
What do this mean? Does this mean that we can’t see the password policy in the modeling, or that we can’t see the change we made to the password policy? Besides, were there
error messages displayed in the modeling?
In addition, we can try running the Group Policy Modeling Wizard again to see if the issue persist.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

How to retrieve a password policy response after a ldap bind operation

Background:
I've set up openldap with the ppolicy overlay. The overlay works as expected, but after a bind operation I need to get hands on the ppolicy response.
This can be done manually (with shell commands like ldapsearch) by specifying '-e ppolicy' (general extension).
But how can i get hands on response from my LoginModule? Code:
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userDN);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, inputPassword);
ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
..is it possible to use ExtendedRequest or UnsolicitedNotificationEvent when the creation of the context throws a NamingException (the bind operation fails due to a locked account).
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am having the exact same problem in that OpenLDAP is implementing the password policy people login and everything is fine, but then the password expires and bang they are out. I would like to be able to give my users some warning to say that their password will expire in x days or that your password has expired you have X logins left.
Anyway I have tried the methods suggested here and using ctx.getResponseControls() will either give me null or an array with the exact same objects that I passed in with new InitialLdapContext. What I have did work fine when we used the old jar libraries but we moved to JNDI.
Any help would be appriciated

Implement password policy

we are implementing the complex password policy, which is reqired by Audit team. I am able to implement password policy with AppsPasswordValidationCUS.java
But main problem, if put the long message to provide the instructions for new password on login screen it error out pl/sql number overflow issue.
How can we change the message on the following screen:
1. Main login screen (Just Hint the password) --> it works after change in messages
2. When user password expire then we want to display the on change password forms ( that new password is ...), If I send the message in custom java it gives the error of pl/sql fnd_sec...string overflow.
3. How to add the message on "user define" form.
Looking for your help or white paper to successfully change the message.
