hello, I use only GUI for configuration. I do not use perl script. I have checked the "Enable fine-grained password policy" on global Password Policy. And i have configured a local Password policy on a subtree. But this second policy do not work as it should : the minimum lenght of password is ignored. "nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on" appears my dse.ldif file a ldap search show password policy but some attribut of my policy dos not appears ! exemple : dn: cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=tests,dc=inrp, dc=fr",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou= tests,dc=inrp,dc=fr passwordMinDigits: 1 passwordMinAlphas: 1 passwordStorageScheme: ssha passwordGraceLimit: 0 passwordCheckSyntax: on passwordMinTokenLength: 2 passwordInHistory: 10 passwordChange: on passwordWarning: 0 passwordMinAge: 0 passwordHistory: on passwordExp: on passwordMustChange: off passwordMaxAge: 63072000 objectClass: ldapsubentry objectClass: passwordpolicy here, the "passwordMinLen" attribute does not appear, but i have enter this with GUI tool (value = "8" chars) !!!! this is a bug ? i apply the same policy for global and for local subtree but i have differents LDAP entries ! global policy attributes : nsslapd-security: on nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on passwordMinLength: 8 passwordMinCategories: 3 passwordMinTokenLength: 2 passwordCheckSyntax: on passwordMinAlphas: 1 passwordMinDigits: 1 passwordMaxAge: 63072000 passwordExp: on passwordHistory: on passwordWarning: 0 passwordInHistory: 10 local policy attributes : passwordMinDigits: 1 passwordMinAlphas: 1 passwordStorageScheme: ssha passwordGraceLimit: 0 passwordCheckSyntax: on passwordMinTokenLength: 2 passwordInHistory: 10 passwordChange: on passwordWarning: 0 passwordMinAge: 0 passwordHistory: on passwordExp: on passwordMustChange: off passwordMaxAge: 63072000 here : passwordMinLen is losed !!!!! => how can i apply this rule about min length of password ????? regards Visolve LDAP Group a ?crit : > > > > Hi, > > > > Hugo ?ti?vant, > > > > I believe you configured the sub tree password policy through > ns-newpwpolicy.pl script. > > > > When you configure the global password policy it may override the sub > tree password policy.
