I cfg the DS  see the dse,ldif,  next reboot the server and update a user passwd with  ldappasswd, I am not able to see  passwordTrackUpdateTime in user entry.

 

nsslapd-pwpolicy-inherit-global: on

nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on

passwordTrackUpdateTime: on

 

running 389-ds-base-1.3.9

 

I tried with nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: off and

nsslapd-pwpolicy-inherit-global: on and

passwordTrackUpdateTime: on

and still same result.

Please , what I am missing from this cfg ?

Thank you!

Thank you, so the steps to have this  attribute cfg  and  with set value for each user  are :

 

1.       In DS cfg add attriute PasswordTrackUpddateTime to on, nsslapd-policy-local to on and nsslapd-pwpolicy-inherit –global to on

2.       Have users chage their passwd

3.       The uid entries wtill display the new attribute :PasswordTrackUpdateTime with time stamp value

Is this sufficient  to have this attribute populate for each DS entry ?

 

Do I  still need to run this ns-newpolicy.pl script ?

Do you really need a local subtree policy?  If the password policy you want to use will apply to all your users then you can simplify all of this.  Just set passwordTrackUpdateTime to "on".  That's it. 

If affirmative, I would like to learn when and what arguments must provide at run time ?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking here...

Hi List

I am searching for  some  documentation  for ns-newpolicy.pl file , as per RH Doc I can  use that script to add the attribute : pwdUpdateTime to each uid  entry after I  already cfg in  DS  Password TrackUpdateTime and  pwdpolicy-  inherit -global  to ‘on’;

The only docs we have are the official Red Hat docs.  Here's a recap...

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/configuration_command_and_file_reference/core_server_configuration_reference#cnconfig-passwordTrackUpdateTime

This will start to add "pwdUpdateTime" to entries after they change their passwords, but it does not automatically add it to all existing entries.  They must change their passwords after enabling this setting for pwdUpdateTime to be set.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/configuration_command_and_file_reference/core_server_configuration_reference#cnconfig-nsslapd_pwpolicy_inherit_global_Inherit_Global_Password_Policy

This setting is only used if you are using local password policies (subtree/user policies). It means it will check the global policy settings AND the local policy settings.  Otherwise only the local policy is applied.

HTH,
Mark

Thank you

Isabella
