Hi John, unfortunately, Directory Manager cannot bypass password policy. It could drive to inconsistencies if a new password matches one of the passwords kept in history. Eventually, a workaround would be just to reset passwordhistory of a certain user like this: ldapmodify -ZZZ -D "cn=directory manager" -w <password> -h localhost dn: uid=test01,ou=People,dc=**,dc=**,dc=** changetype: modify delete: passwordHistory This has been described, for instance, in: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/791773 regards, German. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Trump" <trumpjk@xxxxxxxxx> > To: 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 6:10:39 PM > Subject: Allow Directory Manager to bypass Password Policy > > Is it possible to allow the Directory Manager to bypass the password policy > when resetting user passwords?
