Hi all,
Please can you help me identify why I’m not able to configure a password policy ?
As you can see below, the password policy has been configured, but when I test it, It’s not working…
I’m running the 389-ds server on Linux Suse15 sp2
uname -a
Linux dl360s-04 5.3.18-24.15-default #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 22:48:37 UTC 2020 (b3a3711) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Here is the definition of the password policy I want to apply :
According to the last line for example, it should not accept any password length below 20.
LDAP_SERVER:~ # dsconf -D “cn=Directory Manager” ldap://LDAP_SERVER.example.fr localpwp get “ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr”
Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://LDAP_SERVER.example.fr:
Local Subtree Policy Policy for “ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr”: cn=cn\3DnsPwPolicyEntry3\2Cou\3Dpeople\2Cdc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dfr,cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr
passwordstoragescheme: PBKDF2_SHA256

passwordinhistory: 4

passwordminage: 2000

passwordresetfailurecount: 300
passwordminlength: 20
- Here is the definition of the container :
ldapsearch -x -v -LL -h LDAP_SERVER -p 389 -D cn=“Directory Manager” -w PASSWORD1234 -b “cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr”
dn: cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr

- Here the definition of the template :
ldapsearch -x -v -LL -h LDAP_SERVER -p 389 -D cn=“Directory Manager” -w PASSWORD1234 -b “cn=cn\3DnsPwTemplateEntry\2Cou\3Dpeople\2Cdc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dfr,cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr”

- Here is the definition of the user demo_user6 (created for testing):
ldapsearch -x -v -LL -h LDAP_SERVER -p 389 -D cn=“Directory Manager” -w PASSWORD1234 -b “uid=demo_user6,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr” pwdpolicysubentry

cn: demo_user6
TEST :
Here we’ll try an ldapmodify, by logging with the test user (user6), we try to edit the password of the user which is less than 20 characters, but unfortunately it works…
ldapmodify -D “uid=demo_user6,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr” -w “oldpwd” -x -h LDAP_SERVER -v
ldap_initialize( ldap://LDAP_SERVER )
dn: uid=demo_user6,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: newpwd
replace userPassword:
newpwd
modifying entry “uid=demo_user6,ou=people,dc=example,dc=fr”
modify complete
Hope I can find some help,
THanks in advance,
