Password Policy User not locked

After 3 wrong password attempts. User account are not locked out.
- Password policy is enabled
- validate_password plugin include obReadPasswdMode="LDAP", obWritePasswdMode="LDAP"
- Password Policy Cache is flush.
Anything else i should look into?
thankx

You may want to check the password policy filter to ensure your user is being picked up by the policy.
is the oblogintrycount attribute being incremented?

User gets locked in lesser attempts than security policy setting

Hi
I have written my customized login code to login a user to the
portal and I user the following code:
IUser myUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonAlias(username, null);
IUserAccountFactory accountFactory = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
IUserAccount account = accountFactory.getUserAccountByLogonId(myUser.getUniqueName());
ILogonAuthentication ILA = UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator();
req.setAttribute(JUSER,myUser.getUniqueName());
req.setAttribute(JPASSWORD,password);
ILA.logon(req,res,AUTHSCHDEFAULT);
I notice that whenever I try to logon using my code with a
wrong password, the user gets locked in 3 attemps even though the security policy
(at ABAP and in Portal UME Configuration) setting for number of failed attempts is set to 5.
(Although, please note that my code works fine logging the
user into the portal when he enters the correct password)
I try to check if the same thing happens with the standard logon module - com.sap.portals.runtime.logon,
and notice that it locks correctly after 5 attempts.
Would I have to add anything else in my code to make it work
correctly?
Thanks
oj

Hi All
I tried to check in the CUA table the incorrect logon attempts value, and noticed that for every time I login (using my above code) with the wrong password, it increments the count by 2!! And that's the reason it gets locked out by the third time.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Password policy not allowing to reconfigure STMS

Hi Guru's,
I have done system copy by database restore method, in post activities I have mistakenly deleted STMS configuration on domain controller, now when I am trying to add production server in landscape.
the password policy is not allowing us to reconfigure STMS.
I have manually reset the TMSADM password with alphanumeric format on all three system in client 000 with user DDIC,but I was getting same error message,
After removing password policy on PRD server it allowed me to configure STMS for PRD server.
Is there other way to reconfigure STMS without removing policy?
policy parameter:
login/min_password_specials ==>1
login/min_password_digits ==>1
since i dont want to remove password policy to reconfigure STMS,
please suggest, alternative.
-Gokul Chitode

you may want to have a look at SAP Note 761637 - Login restrictions prevent TMSADM logon

Password policy not working?

I'm a little confused as to why a global OD password policy to change passwords on first login will not function. All users already have a single working password.
Consequently, I've used a USER based policy in WM, but this asks the user to enter a new password and then doesn't allow any further progress.
Any ideas?

I believe that, in OID 10.1.2, the new password policy will not take effect until after the user's password has been changed.

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.

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.

Password policy and OEM

So we have a password policy that automatically locks accounts on 3 attempts.
When OEM sends a saved preferred credential to a database. it looks like it has several attempt before it prompts you via the login panel for the credentials.
By the time you reach the login panel the account is already locked because it looks like OEM has had several attempts against the database already.
So what we have is a situation where our password policy is out of sync with what OEM v 10 expects.
The only way it works is if the DBA unlocks the account prior to my hitting login from the login screen.
This is all because I've had to change my password ever 60 days and OEM has remembered my old password which now is no longer valid against the
target database.
Thoughts?

If preferred credentials are specified, OEM uses those credentials and checks if the login can be performed with those credentials. But, if the saved preferred credentials are different from what the database is configured, we will run into the max_failed_attempts usecase.
The same preferred credentials will be used by background jobs and so if the password is changed on the database without updating the preferred credentials, the account could be locked out quickly if there are any background jobs.
Also, OEM provides command line scripts (emcli update_db_password) that can be used to update the password in the database as well as update the preferred credentials with the same password, which is the recommeded way to change password when they are used in preferred credentials.

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.

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

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.

Can not receive messages - user mailbox locked

Suddenly my incoming messages stopped coming and a dialogue box appeard, saying: "The sending of password failed. The e-mail server (pop3) answered user mailbox locked."
I've been in contact with my internet service provider and they found nothing wrong from their side. I can access my mail on the webmail and I can send email from my account.
I've checked the way the server and the account is configured and everything seems to be ok and according to manuals from both the ISP and Thunderbird. How can I get may incoming mail working again? Hoping for help!

Yes I asked. That was the first thing I did. And there's nothing wrong on the provider's side. They didn't lock the account and found it very unusual. They didn't know much about Thunderbird, however...
But I got hands-on-help from my son yesterday and that might have (almost) solved it. Seems that Thunderbird can't have both IMAP and POP3 accounts running and there might have been something in this that disturbed the flow. He made a new inbox and things started to work again. But it's still not working 100 %.

Require user (not creator) to set password?

Hello, I have created an incident report using Adobe Livecycle Desiger. These forums have been very helpful in answering my questions about expandable fields and the form is done except for my question about password protection. I know how to set a password on the file but I don't want to do this. The file is not sensitive until the answers are entered. At that point, I would like to require the user to password-protect the file using his or her own password before they can save their responses. Does anyone know how to do this? In other words, is it possible to create a PDF file that requires the user (not me, the creator) to define a password prior to saving it? The reason I would like this functionality is because not everyone is necessarily tech-savvy and I would like to make this a requirement so that they never forget to password-protect the file. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have been looking into this and this functionality does not seem to be available. I think that this would be a useful feature for Adobe to introduce. The most I can do to make the file read-only so that I force them to save it again, rename the file and hopefully jog their memory then and there to password-protect it.
Thanks for any advice or workarounds you may have.
Kyle

Hi,
I have an example here of something similar: https://acrobat.com/#d=eFWndvuG-gt8GedvI-2erw. This uses a HASH function to keep the password secure (see here for more details and links Re: Password protect subforms).
You could check our Paul's example for 'Locking all fields' - a quick search of the forums should bring it up.
You could set up a button to ask the user for their password (twice)
Generate a HASH string from the password
Store the HASH string in a hidden textfield
The script would initiate 'Lock all fields' function
When the user click an unlock button they would be asked for there password.
Their input would be converted to a HASH string and if that matches the value in the hidden textfield, all the fields would be unlocked.
Just an outline,
Niall

How to force password policy requirements on password resets for user accounts reset by the Administrator?

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Domain Level: 2008
Forest Level: 2000
We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
and can reset a password for a user account to be blank.
Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins?

Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

Password Policy not functioning correctly

Here's my situation, and I hope it is something obviously easy that I missed.
Mac Mini Server with 10.9.3 running Server 3.1.2
I have set up Open Directory, and Enabled File sharing in the inital steps to setting up this server. It will be used in a small school environment.
The staff/teacher's passwords I have already set, and then for students, we set a generic password, and have it set that the student will change their password to whatever they want the first time the try to access the server for file sharing.
I have set up a number of local network users already, and I am testing the student password reset function.
My Issue:
Every time I try to change the password at the first time prompt, I am told "Your password does not meet the policy enforced by the server "10.0.0.87". Please try again. "
I have the global password policy set with only the "differ from account name" check box enabled, and none others. Even so, every single password I try to use is denied.
Any help is appreciated.
