It appears that this is an issue with the client; if I attempt change a users password from within fds using a password that I've already used for that user, I get a warning from fds indicating that it violates password history rule.

Because the console will allow you to configure the fine grained password policy under the Directory tab even if this is not set, but it will not take effect. >Here is a sample ldap.conf file: > >pam_password exop >pam_password clear >pam_password md5 >ssl start_tls >ssl on > >I'm running fds 1.0.1 on a redhat 4 box (actually have 2 directory >servers, I've set this policy on both servers, supplier consumer >replication is setup between them. > >I've verified that this is not enforced regardless if the client has >ssl enabled or not. > Did you try ldapmodify from the command line to see if the problem is with FDS or with PAM? e.g. ldapmodify -D "uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" -w currentpassword dn: uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword: passwordinhistory >Please advise as this is a highly critical issue that I must get fixed >in order to move this into production.
