Why 2 PwdPolicyEntry under Password Policy Managerment in ODM

Hi Gurus,
I am not sure which one I should update to set the password policies. I see 2 PwdPolicyEntry under Password Policy Management when I login to Oracle Directory Manager. Please post a reply if you have some info about the 2 PwdPolicyEntry options.
Thanks
Raj
-----------

One seems to be for the top level dit, the other for the orgasation subtree (i.e. the cn=your,dc=company, dc=co,dc=uk bit of the dit)

Disabling OID Password Policy

Hi,
I had a problem of OID password expiry due to the default password policy expiry of 60 days. I resolved the issue using oidpwd utility and using Oracle Directory Manager (ODM). Now I want to change the password policy settings. Here I've a doubt that
,instead of changing the policy whether is it possible to disable the password policy. I found one option in the ODM->Password Policy management' --> Cn=PWDPolicyEntry , in the General tab, Password Policy ENABLE/DISABLE in a list box.
Could anyone please explain what would happen if i select 'DISABLE' to disable the password Policy?

Post in the OID forum... the lads there will help you.

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

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.

Setting Password Policy in Oracle 10g

Hi,
Could you guide me please? Up to date there has not been a Policy for passwords in our 10g Database which means the user can set anything for their password. We however now require to implement a Password Policy and would appreciate some guidance in doing this.
We don't use Enterprise Manager,we have chosen not to configure it on our system.
These are the steps I propose to take to set the password policy:
1. Edit $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql to change default profile values to desired values.
2. as SYS run utlpwdmg.sql
Is this correct? Is there anything else I should do?
thank you.

Hi,
I had a look at dba_profiles:
DEFAULT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION PASSWORD NULL
This suggests that the default profile is not using the function. It doesn't "suggest" it. That's exactly what it means. The default profile is not using a password verify function.
In the light of this, is it safe then to edit the function and the default profile will be unaffected? The profile cannot be affected by a change to a function that it does not reference.
I don't want to change the default profile. I plan to create another profile that will make use of the function and then apply it for the users
thanksthen proceed to do so. Why would you not want the function to be 'default' -- referenced by the default profile?
BTW, you can name that function anything you want. When you assign a password complexity function to a profile, you assign it by the name of the function. So you are not limited to the name used by the 'out of the box' script provided by oracle. You might want to name your own function something like MYCORP_PSWD_POLICY. And of course the name of the sql file where you keep the code can also be named anything you like, so you might want to name it accordingly. Just so you have a clear seperateion between your company's stuff and that provided by Oracle.

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.

Options in edit global password policy grayed out

I'm trying to edit the global password policy (under users) to "be reset at first user login" but that option and several others are grayed out.

I guess you have uninstalled an older version of PS lately?

Custom Password Policy Settings

Hello Friends,
I am doing the server practical in virtual environment and wish to set a normal password for the test user "Robert Garcia" so I disabled the password policy requirement in the gpmc.msc under "Default Domain Policy" and then did a gpupdate
so that I can set a password as garcia for the user robert but it did not work. I did a system reboot then also it did not work.
I did the same thing for the Default Domains Controller Policy option and still it is not working .
What should be the correct method to disable this as I am in a test environment and simply want to keep simple passwords. Is there any requirement for system reboot or gpupdate should work and what could be the reason here that it is not working in either of
the case??
Thanks
I noticed that I can't set a number as a password say 65789867 but when I disable the things in default domain policy then I can set the password but still not the simple text garcia so what I need to edit and where now.
Also if I need to enable a password policy like the first letter should be capital etc etc then where I can do this customization of password policy
I can set a normal text as password but not the user's last name as password where I can change this customization. I understand that in production environment its not suggested but just in case where to do the customization??
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
In my testing environment, gpupdate is enough to make the policy changes taking effects.
Here are a few suggestions for you:
Please make sure that the Default Domain Policy is
link enabled.
Other than the Password must meet complexity requirements setting, please also disable other ones like Enforce password history, Minimum password length.
If there is any password policy setting set as
Not Defined in Default Domain Policy, please check password policy from
Local Security Policy, in which settings could override the Not Defined ones.

You may need to develop scripts to achieve this goal.

UserPrincipal.ChangePassword thinks the password does not meet the password policy requirements.

I am working with C# 3.5. My goal is to have a simple program to allow a user change their Active Directory user password via a web page. I have a console application to initially test the commands to active directory and I am running into a problem.
my domains password policy is as follows.
Enforce password history 24 passwords remembered
Minimum password length 7 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements Enabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
The error I am getting is "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)"
I believe the new password I am using does meet the policy requirements and I can't seem to get this program to work. All I want to build is a simple program to allow a user to change their Active Directory user password.
My test code is below.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
using System.DirectoryServices;
namespace ActiveDirectoryHacking
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
PrincipalContext adPrincipalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "192.168.1.26", "OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org", "John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword");
Console.WriteLine("Validate user {0}", adPrincipalContext.ValidateCredentials("John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword"));
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(adPrincipalContext, "John.Doe");
Console.WriteLine(user.DistinguishedName);
user.ChangePassword("Initial Complex P234dfword", "e$213434sDKS really? www.microsoft.com");
//user.SetPassword("Initial Complex P234dfword");
user.Save();
Console.WriteLine("Press a key to exit.");
Console.ReadKey();
The .SetPassword works if I use a user with Domain Admin access but it appears the John.Doe is unable to change their own password with the .ChangePassword method.
The output until the exception is the following
Validate user True
CN=John Doe,OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org
I have no clue why any password I select for the new password does not work.

I looked into the password policy and this is what I have learned. There is a major difference between undefined and defined in policies plus making sure the defined policies are set with values that will provide the desired results.
Since this is a development domain and is used for testing I have tweaked the password policy to allow me to develop and test against the domain with a little bit more freedom than a production domain.
I have changed the policy to the following settings.
Enforce password history 0 passwords remembered
Maximum password age 0 days
Minimum password age 0 days
Minimum password length 7 characters
Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled
Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
Now, I am able to run my program against the domain testing the password change utility. My error was leaving some of the policy settings as not defined and not understanding what that really means for each setting. For development of a password change utility I need the flexibility to test and the relaxed policy changes allows me to run the program many times without having to work with test data that works around a more restricted policy.

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)

Apply password policy to all users

Hi,
I have been poking around with setting up a password policy on Sun DS 6.3.1. Everything works ok but I only have seen examples of how to apply the password policy to a single user, with an ldif something like:
dn: uid=pepe,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: pwdPolicySubentry
passwordPolicySubentry:
cn=MyPolicy,dc=mycompany,dc=com
but I haven't figured out how to apply it to all users or to a group of users. What I would like to do is to apply the policy to all users under ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com.
Any tips ?
Thanks in advance.

For all users, simply modify the global password policy.
For specific group of users, create a password policy and a Class of Service which links the users to the policy. Just search the directory server docs on how to do that in details.

Password Policy Setup.

Dear all,
How do one setup a password policy on Oracle E-business Suite? We are about to setup a password policy on our application where users password expires every 45days and users are prompted to change their password. Awaiting your usual response.

Use this to set all users to expire after 45 days:
update fnd_user set password_lifespan_days = 45;You may want to exclude system required user accounts such as ANONYMOUS, APPSMGR, GUEST, SYSADMIN, etc.
Note that users that have never logged in to Oracle will not be forced to reset their password, even if you set the password lifespan to 45 days and their account was set up more than 45 days ago.
Use this to identify users that have expired:
select     user_name, description, email_address, password_date, password_lifespan_days
from     fnd_user
where     sysdate >= nvl(password_date, start_date) + nvl(password_lifespan_days, 45)
order by user_name;As was previously stated, when users log in and their password has expired, they will be prompted to change their password. This happens after the password expires, not before it. Even if the password has been expired for days, the user can still log in and change the password. The feature forces them to change the password but it doesn't lock them out. They're not locked out of the system until their account is end dated on the User - Define screen.
From a user experience standpoint, think about why you need to notify users their password will expire tomorrow if they're going to log into Oracle tomorrow (or the next day, or next week) anyway? I would consider it an annoying email that is wasting resources.

Password Policy with DSCC (DSEE)

Hi all,
I am creating security policies with the interface DSCC (Directory service control center).
In Password Policies there are two types of policies (Global / Built in)
properties of these policies are in ldap
Global
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=Password Policy,cn=config" objectclass=*
Built-in
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=Password Policy,cn=replication manager,cn=replication,cn=config" objectclass=*
But, if I create a new policy under cn = PolicyTemp,dc = example, dc = cl, you can not find it by querying ldap?
it does not deliver results
ldapsearch -x D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "cn=PolicyTemp,dc=example,dc=cl" objectclass=*

Hi,
I found the answer, the LDAP query is :
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w admin123 -b "dc=example,dc=cl" "(&(objectclass=ldapsubentry)(cn=TempPolicy))"
Thanks

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.
