Hi William

Thanks for you review. Some answers are inlined in the mail below.

Hey there,

I think that you also need:


pwdOTPValidFromTime

This way an admin can pre-configure all the OTP's and they only "become valid from" that time frame. IE think university enrollment. You can configure all the OTP's a month before, and they become valid at a specific datetime.

That is a very nice idea. Note to be OTP the 'userpassword' of the account must be reset by an admin and the account inheriting password policy with OTP settings. Assuming 'pwdOTPValidFromTime' is the account operational attribute holding a precise time. How should it be computed ? Directly from a precise time set in the password policy or computed from a ' 'passwordOTPValidationDelay' (number of seconds after OTP reset time) or something else ?

I think you should make it consistent with passwordOTPExpDelay to pwdOTPExpDelay. Better, OTP means "one time password" so why is it "password one time password". Just make the attributes "OTPExpDelay" or whatever. Alternately make it pwdOT (password one time).
ATM password policy ('passwordPolicy') only contains 'password*' attributes this is why I would prefer to keep 'passwordOTP*' (e.g. passwordOTPMaxUse, passwordOTPExpirationDelay, passwordOTPValidFromTime'). I agree that 'passwordOTP' looks weird ("password one time password") but the first 'password' is the way the password policy attribute are prefixed.

Then the account operational attributes updated via  password policy. There is a mix.
6 out of 10 start with 'password' (like 'passwordExpirationTime')
2 out of 10 start with 'pwd' (like 'pwdReset')
The two remaining are 'retryCountResetTime' and 'accountUnlockTime'.
I choose the 'pwdOTP' prefix because the feature is somehow related to 'pwdReset' and also I preferred a different prefix than the password policy.

I think passwordOTPExpDelay can be remove if you have ValidFromTime instead.

Why ? Registration should be done after Now+ValidFromTime and before Now+passwordOTPExpDelay.
So the two are useful.



The OC should be named onetimepasswordPolicy instead.
Do you suggest we have two password policies OC: passwordPolicy and OnTimePasswordPolicy. OTP relying on 'passwordMustChange' then OnTimePasswordPolicy should allow 'passwordMustChange'


Hope that helps!

Absolutely it helps a lot. Thanks !

Hi,

I wrote a small design [1] about OTP password policy that I would like to start implementing.
Comments are welcome
