(ITS#7788) pwdFailureTime and pwdChangedTime registered in user entry even if no ppolicy associated with the entry
by coudot＠linagora.com 16 Jan '14

Full_Name: Clement OUDOT Version: 2.4.38 OS: GNU/Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (83.145.72.122) Hi, I have configured a ppolicy overlay without olcPPolicyDefault value. So I use pwdPolicySubentry in user entries to bind them to their policy configuration entry. Overlay ppolicy is compiled in slapd, not as module. I use LTB package. If I create an account without pwdPolicySubentry, the attributes pwdChangedTime and pwdFailureTime are generated for this entry. And as the entry is never locked (which is a normal behavior, fixed in http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=6168), the number of values in pwdFailureTime can grow indefinitely. IMHO, no ppolicy operational attributes should be present in an entry not linked to a password policy.

If this is not a bug in the OpenLDAP implementation, it is maybe a point to discuss in the draft. Indeed, a simple LDAP client (that don't use ppolicy control) will get a successful BIND response even if the password is expired. Maybe it is the wanted behavior, maybe not. The fact is that if an administator reset the password (by changing password value and setting pwdReset to TRUE), this reseted password will never expire. From my point of view, this is a security flaw in the password policy system, as a lot of applications just use the BIND operation on LDAP server (searches and other operations are done by application LDAP accounts).

Full_Name: Clement OUDOT Version: 2.4.38 OS: GNU/Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (83.145.72.122) Here is the situation : a user account is 1/ expired (the password age is more that the one configured in pwdMaxGae) 2/ must be reset (pwdReset is TRUE and pwdMustChange in ppolicy configuration object is TRUE) In this case, when doing a BIND, the result code is 0: $ ldapwhoami -x -D uid=coudot,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com -w secret -e ppolicy ldap_bind: Success (0); Password must be changed (Password expires in 0 seconds) dn: uid=coudot,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com If I remove pwdReset attribute, then: $ ldapwhoami -x -D uid=coudot,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com -w secret -e ppolicy ldap_bind: Invalid Credentials (49); Password expired According to password policy draft, the password must change flag should not affect the BIND result code.

I see the point; slapcat is failing because to export the configuration (c->op == SLAP_CONFIG_EMIT) it needs to read the configuration first, and it reads the whole config tree. Perhaps when slapcat of only the config database is requested, config parsing should skip other databases, or at least ignore errors, if possible. p. -- Pierangelo Masarati Associate Professor Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali Politecnico di Milano

Full_Name: Raphael Ouazana Version: 2.4.38 OS: Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (88.173.78.196) Hi, I have an old configuration that I would like to export/reimport. The olcDbDirectory item of this configuration contains a directory that does not longer exist. It it then impossible to modify the parameter: - I was told not to edit directly LDIF config files - if i try a slapcat -n0 I get: 52d64c91 olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory 52d64c91 config error processing olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config: olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory slapcat: bad configuration directory! I think slapcat should always allow to export a configuration. Regards, Raphaël Ouazana.

Any reason why you insist on using such an ancient release? In 5,5 years since 2.4.11 release there have been numerous important contextCSN related fixes to OpenLDAP 2.4.x code. You should definitely upgrade! Everything else is wasting your own time and the OpenLDAP project people's resources. Ciao, Michael.
