[Fedora-directory-users] Password policy don't work on a subtree

[Hugo Etievant]

hello,

version : Directory Server 1.1.3 on Fedora 8 64 bits plateform

When i configure a password policy on a subtree of my directory, this 
policy do not works.
When i configure a global password policy, this global policy works but 
ignore locals policy of subtrees.

when i look at the databases ldif backup, il do not find the 
"passwordMinLength" attribute for local password policy for subtrees
but this attribut exists in dse ldif for the global policy !

how resolve this ?

Hi,

Hugo Étiévant,

I believe you configured the sub tree password policy through
ns-newpwpolicy.pl script.

When you configure the global password policy it may override the sub tree
password policy. So make sure that 'nsslapd-pwpolicy-local' is 'on' in
cn=config entry of dse.ldif file to make the sub tree policy to work.

This attribute decides whether the local password policy is enabled or not.
Anyways the execution of ns-newpwpolicy.pl script will turn this attribute
value to 'on'.

However you cannot see any traces of sub tree  Password policy attributes by
searching cn=config tree or in dse.ldif file. It will show only global
password policy attributes.

You can see list of applied sub tree password policy attributes by
performing a search like this.

/opt/dirsrv/bin/ldapsearch -v -h <host> -p <port> \

-D "<managerDN>" -w <passwd> -b <suffix>  objectclass=ldapsubentry

dn:cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=
marketing,o=abc.com

objectClass: top

objectClass: ldapsubentry

objectClass: passwordpolicy

cn: cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com

passwordExp: off

passwordMaxAge: 10

passwordWarning: 15

passwordGraceLimit: 1

pwdpolicysubentry:
cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com",cn=nsPwPolic

yContainer,ou=marketing,o=abc.com

hello,

I use only GUI for configuration. I do not use perl script.

I have checked the "Enable fine-grained password policy" on global 
Password Policy.
And i have configured a local Password policy on a subtree.
But this second policy do not work as it should : the minimum lenght of 
password is ignored.

"nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on" appears my dse.ldif file

a ldap search show password policy but some attribut of my policy dos 
not appears !

exemple :
dn: cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=tests,dc=inrp, 
dc=fr",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=
 tests,dc=inrp,dc=fr
passwordMinDigits: 1
passwordMinAlphas: 1
passwordStorageScheme: ssha
passwordGraceLimit: 0
passwordCheckSyntax: on
passwordMinTokenLength: 2
passwordInHistory: 10
passwordChange: on
passwordWarning: 0
passwordMinAge: 0
passwordHistory: on
passwordExp: on
passwordMustChange: off
passwordMaxAge: 63072000
objectClass: ldapsubentry
objectClass: passwordpolicy

here, the "passwordMinLen" attribute does not appear, but i have enter 
this with GUI tool (value = "8" chars) !!!!

this is a bug ?

i apply the same policy for global and for local subtree but i have 
differents LDAP entries  !

global policy attributes :

nsslapd-security: on
nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on
passwordMinLength: 8
passwordMinCategories: 3
passwordMinTokenLength: 2
passwordCheckSyntax: on
passwordMinAlphas: 1
passwordMinDigits: 1
passwordMaxAge: 63072000
passwordExp: on
passwordHistory: on
passwordWarning: 0
passwordInHistory: 10

local policy attributes :

passwordMinDigits: 1
passwordMinAlphas: 1
passwordStorageScheme: ssha
passwordGraceLimit: 0
passwordCheckSyntax: on
passwordMinTokenLength: 2
passwordInHistory: 10
passwordChange: on
passwordWarning: 0
passwordMinAge: 0
passwordHistory: on
passwordExp: on
passwordMustChange: off
passwordMaxAge: 63072000

here : passwordMinLen is losed !!!!!

=> how can i apply this rule about min length of password ?????

The GUI does the same thing as the perl script.

Is passwordMinLength the only attribute you cannot set in your local 
password policy?  Do you have this problem with any other attribute?

If you set a local password policy like this, _it will not use the 
global settings at all_ - it will not fallback on the global settings in 
cn=config - you must specify all of the parameters you care about in 
your local password policy.  If you do not, it will fallback on either 
nothing or the hardcoded default in the server itself.
