Password policy support RedHat openldap client

I am using Directory Server 5.2 patch4 for a naming service for about 250 servers which are mostly Solaris 8 & 9 clients. But I also have some RedHat 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, HP-UX 11, and AIX 5 clients. Does anyone know if and how I can use the password policy I have created in the Directory Server to work with non-solaris clients?

I believe that most of pam_ldap modules on these machines understand the Sun DS password policy controls.

OpenLDAP, password policy.

Hi
I need some help or advice about how to use password policy with ldap authentication. I folowed that manual. I had slapd.conf configurated and I have ou=policies and the cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com policy.
Now what shoud I do to let the cliets use that policy? I still have pam_cracklib.so in my /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac (the clients are CentOS). Should I remove the pam_cracklib.so and add something else?
I red in another place that I should add "pwdPolicySubentry: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com" in the user`s entry, but I am unable to do that. Do you know in which objectClass is that attribute included?
Regards.

Mac OS X 10.5 Clients - Active Directory Login - Password Policy

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me or give me some pointers.
I have a client who has a number of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard clients who sign-in and authenticate with a Window's Active Directory server which has a password policy to prompt users to change their login password every 30 days.
Today is the day they are required to change their login password and they do get message that says something like "0 days to change your password" but are not getting the subsequent dialogue box that allows them to change their password.
Any ideas?

OOPs, missed which one we were talking about, sorry.
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

Linux and Solaris Clients with password policy using LDAP

Anybody managed to get Linux (RHEL) and Solaris 9 Client authenticate against Sun Directory Server 5.2p4 using the same password policy?
For me it looks like Linux needs attribute shadowlastchanged set to display proper Warnings, that the password will expire/needs to be changed now. On the other hand Solaris (using pam_ldap) never writes this attribute, because it's using the password policy attribute pwdchangedtime.
Hints very wellcome!
Can anybody confirm Solaris9 pam_unix still sets this shadow* attributes correct on any password change executed by a user?

Hi Jeremy,
here the answers to your questions:
>My question is which system takes precedence over the password policy?
Unfortunately there is no policy verification between the portal and your Sun One LDAP. So if you reset the password from the portal then only the portal password policies can be checked.
> If I wanted to do password resets from the Portal, does the portal then store only the password in its database?
No, the password will be stored in the LDAP, but only if it also corresponds with the LDAP policies. If not, then you will get an error, but you will not see the real LDAP exception.
> Also what would then happen if you tried to reset the password from the LDAP?
The password in the LDAP does not have to fit to the Portal password policies. When you log in, the portal will only check if the password you tipped in is the new one in LDAP and will not check any policies.
Hope this brings some light in,
Robert

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?

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 do you apply the same password policy to every PDF document you create with inDesign?

All,
Adobe peeps!,
I don't know if this is really supported with inDesign 5.5, but here is my my use case:
I constantly create more than 10 PDFs a day using inDesign
On all PDF's I create, i want to apply password security to protect them
But in order to do so, within inDesign, I am always forced to go to the "security dialogue" pane to set up the same permission and passwords over and over again
This gets tiring :/
So what I am hoping to do is the following:
Like acrobat, I want to create a password policy within inDesign
I want all PDFs created to have such a password policy be automatically applied
I know acrobat supports something like this (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d68.w.h tml), but, unless I may have missed something, the Acrobat feature is limited. That is, the help link does not tell me how to automatically do this with Acrobat either (the link does not explain to me how to "automatically apply the same password security policy to every PDF document I save within the application). I think the only way to do so is via "Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES", but for non server users, I am hoping there is another way.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to create password security policies in inDesign?
Is it possible to apply the same password security policy to every PDF i create in inDesign?
If not, can I change default settings within Acrobat ProX to automatically apply a password security policy everytime I save a PDF?
If all fails, do you guys know of any extensions that can support this?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
PS. I am using acrobat pro x.

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.

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. :-)

Openldap client compile in Solaris 8/9

Did anyone compile openldap client with ssl/TLS in solaris 8/9 platform and authenticate against SUN one iplanet directory server 5.1 sp2 successfully?
I cannot get the openldap client talk to the IDS ?
Thanks

Lars,
Use ldmp2v to convert existing physical server to VM and
Convert Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers to container in Solaris 10 VM?
Is that what you are saying?
Major constraint I have is, applications running in the current physical servers have no vendor support, vendor doesn't exist any more. Application has been locked to run only on the same OS version. What I am worried is, while running ldmp2v should not prevent the application coming up in the new virtualized environment. Keeping that in mind, I gave a thought like
1. Install and configure the CDOM (control domain)
2. configure and Install LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
3. Run flar on the existing Solaris 10 physical server
4. Transfer the flar created to Solaris 10 LDOM and configure it as a zone
5. For Solaris 8 and 9, create LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
6. Install additional patches and packages needed for supporting Solaris 8 and 9 zones
6. create flar images on the existing Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers
7. transfer the images to newly created LDOM and configure the zone.
8. Current servers sun4u which has to be converted to sun4v.

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:
<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk814/technologies_configuration_example09186a00808abf2d.shtml#MDA>
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.

Using class of service to manage password policy

We implemented password policy on our old DS across the board, which entailed finding all of the special administrative accounts used by software and setting an expiration date at the end of the epoch. I was wondering if a smarter way to do this is to create a class of service template for normal and special accounts and tie those into our user accounts. Has anyone done this?
Thanks.

Sun DS 5.2 supposedly has support for the latest LDAP password policy internet draft which allows you to explicitly setup password policy on a subtree or user basis. It uses roles and class of service under the covers. I would use that instead of rolling your own.
