[389-users] Resetting user passwords

I tried that (using a date/time string similar to
passwordallowchangetime), and I was able to get the "your password will
expire in 10 days" message when I log in. I guess I thought that there
would have existed either a checkbox or a button similar to Active
Directory where it says "Reset user password" or something similar.
Now, whenever I try to change the password using the passwd command, I get
the following error:
LDAP password information update failed: Constraint violation
within password minimum age
passwd: Permission denied.
Any ideas on that?

I'll try that on Monday when I'm back at work. Is there any specific time
formatted string I should use? I saw some of the other attributes
referring to time appear to have a value that looks like it starts with
the year and ends with Z.
Thanks!

Looks like a bug. Because we now use strict GeneralizedTime syntax with
checking, you cannot input that value any more. I suppose you could set
it to the current time instead.

Won't let me do it. I get the following error:
Cannot save to directory server:
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result(21); passwordExpirationTime:
value #0 invalid per syntax; Invalid Syntax.
What value did you use?

I don't have any specific user password policy at this time. When I
modify a user's password, I can log in from another PC via SSH as that
user using the changed password, but I'm never told it has to be changed.
In the user's entry, when changing the password, also change the attribute
passwordExpirationTime to 0. This should trigger the reset password code.
Note that the attribute passwordExpirationTime is an operational
attribute.
Thanks,

Nope. Didn't work. I edited the entry, put in another password, then
login using the new password and never get prompted to change it. I saw
something online here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html/Administration_Guide/User_Account_Management.html#Managing_the_Password_Policy-Setting_User_Passwords
. Section 13.1.1.5 says something about a bug in Directory Server.
Are you using per-user/per-subtree (i.e. Fine-Grained) password policy? If
not, then that section does not apply.
Can you post all of your password policy configuration?
Is that something that I should follow or is that doc outdated?
Thanks,
Harry

In my 389-ds setup, I have a password policy in place where the user must
change their password after a reset, they are allowed to change their
password, and it expires after 90 days. However, I cannot find where the
Directory Manager can actually RESET a user's password. The docs are very
vague in this area IMO, so I'm sure I overlooked it.
Not sure, but you may be able to login as directory manager, edit the
user's entry, and change the password to some bogus value.
Where do I go in the console to reset a particular user's password so they
will be prompted to change it when they log in again?
