Issues with Password Policy when password is about to expire (e.g date reached passwordExpirationTime attribute value)

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

 



Hi all,

we are faced with strange issue (started in last 4-5months; tried to fix it ourselves - didn't worked):

our password policy require password change every 90 days... As soon as it reaches period (passwordExpirationTime) no one can log-in until DM changes password (and thus resets passwordExpirationTime attribute).

So, how we can fix that (tried to search forums and Net, but no luck)?

Info:

$ uname -rosv
Linux 2.6.18-400.el5.028stab117.2 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 17:19:54 MSK 2014 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.11 (Final)

$ rpm -qa | grep 389 | sort
389-admin-1.1.29-1.el5
389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el5
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.8-1.el5
389-adminutil-1.1.20-1.el5
389-console-1.1.7-3.el5

389-ds-console-1.2.6-1.el5
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.6-1.el5
389-dsgw-1.1.11-1.el5

[All 389 packages are installed from EPEL repository; SSLv3 disabled; only secure port is in use]

Our (in house) solution for password expiry notification is to get user's details from LDAP export (LDIF) file:
script greps for some attribute values from 'ou=People' and from 'cn=nsPwPolicyEntry' section for user and then check passwordExpirationTime and passwordWarning attribute values and decide if e-mail to user has to be send in advance...

As soon as passwordExpirationTime value is reached, e.g. 20150201103158Z user is not able to authenticate against LDAP.

Case I have missed some existing solution, can someone point to it, or to any other suitable solution.

Thank you
Regards.
