Resetting user passwords

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Won't let me do it.  I get the following error:

Cannot save to directory server:
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result(21); passwordExpirationTime: 
value #0 invalid per syntax; Invalid Syntax.

Thanks,
Harry

In the Directory Server GUI, under the Configuration tab, I have: 

Passwords: 
        Enable fine-grained password policy (checked) 
        User Password Change: 
                User must change password after reset (checked) 
                User may change password (checked) 
                Allow changes in 2 days 
                Keep password history: Remember 5 passwords 
        Password expiration: 
                Password expires after 90 days 
                Send warning 10 days before password expires 
                Allow up to 1 login attempt(s) after password expires 
        Password syntax: 
                Check password syntax (unchecked) 
        Password Encryption: SSHA 
Account Lockout: 
        Accounts may be locked out (checked) 
        Password lockout 
                Lockout account after 3 login failures 
                Reset failure count after 10 minutes 
                Lockout duration 30 minutes 

In the Directory tab, I right-click on People, then select "Manage 
Password Policy" -> For subtree: 

Passwords: 
        Fine-grained subtree policy enabled (checked) 
        User Password Change: 
                User must change password after reset (checked) 
                User may change password (checked) 
                Allow changes in 2 days 
                Keep password history: Remember 5 passwords 
        Password expiration: 
                Password expires after 90 days 
                Send warning 10 days before password expires 
                Allow up to 1 login attempt(s) after password expires 
        Password syntax: 
                Check password syntax (unchecked) 
        Password Encryption: SSHA 
Account Lockout: 
        Accounts may be locked out (checked) 
        Password lockout 
                Lockout account after 3 login failures 
                Reset failure count after 10 minutes 
                Lockout duration 30 minutes 

I don't have any specific user password policy at this time.  When I 
modify a user's password, I can log in from another PC via SSH as that 
user using the changed password, but I'm never told it has to be changed. 
In the user's entry, when changing the password, also change the attribute 
passwordExpirationTime to 0.  This should trigger the reset password code. 
 Note that the attribute passwordExpirationTime is an operational 
attribute.

Thanks, 
Harry

Nope.  Didn't work.  I edited the entry, put in another password, then 
login using the new password and never get prompted to change it.  I saw 
something online here: 
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html/Administration_Guide/User_Account_Management.html#Managing_the_Password_Policy-Setting_User_Passwords
.  Section 13.1.1.5 says something about a bug in Directory Server. 
Are you using per-user/per-subtree (i.e. Fine-Grained) password policy? If 
not, then that section does not apply.

Can you post all of your password policy configuration? 
Is that something that I should follow or is that doc outdated? 

Thanks, 
Harry

In my 389-ds setup, I have a password policy in place where the user must 
change their password after a reset, they are allowed to change their 
password, and it expires after 90 days.  However, I cannot find where the 
Directory Manager can actually RESET a user's password.  The docs are very 
vague in this area IMO, so I'm sure I overlooked it. 

Not sure, but you may be able to login as directory manager, edit the 
user's entry, and change the password to some bogus value. 

Where do I go in the console to reset a particular user's password so they 
will be prompted to change it when they log in again?
