https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10409 Issue ID: 10409 Summary: Implement password policies for the rootdn Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.6.10 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: 31621968(a)qq.com Target Milestone: --- We have successfully configured the Password Policy overlay (ppolicy) on our OpenLDAP server. This configuration ensures that accounts are locked after exceeding the maximum number of failed bind attempts, as defined by the policy. For example, if the ppolicy is set to lock an account after 5 failed bind attempts, the server enforces this behavior effectively for all users under the ppolicy scope. However, we have observed that the rootdn user does not seem to be subject to these same password policies. Specifically, even when the rootdn exceeds the maximum number of failed bind attempts, it does not get locked or restricted in any way. We would like to know if there is a way to apply the same password policies (e.g., account locking after failed bind attempts) to the rootdn. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
