Right, not everyone knows how to make the fullest of the tools available to them, or even know what tools are available to them.

Rereading draft-behera, it says 5.2.4 pwdInHistory This attribute specifies the maximum number of used passwords stored in the pwdHistory attribute. If this attribute is not present, or if the value is 0, used passwords are not stored in the pwdHistory attribute and thus may be reused. As such the test can be simplified.

ITS#5145 Automatic groups overlay
by hyc＠symas.com 15 Dec '07

I did some minor cleanup and committed this. I think there may be other changes that could be made, to take advantage of sorted values and so cut down on the overhead of managing groups with large numbers of members. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

AFAIR that was a custom ACL checking development that I found interesting from a technical point of view but (I might be wrong) of limited usefulness outside the scope it was developed for. In the meanwhile, and probably triggered by that posting, I added several ways of customizing access checking: via overlays, using dynacl (that was added earlier, for the purpose of isolating ACIs, but it could have served the same purpose). In this sense, I don't think this contribution can be of any use right now; it coulr be turned into a dynacl for custom use by the posters, or by anyone who find it useful. p. Ing.

ITS#4987 slapo-constraint improvement
by hyc＠symas.com 15 Dec '07

In reviewing the patch, I see several small details that need to be fixed. E.g., you added a config keyword but re-used an existing OID for your new attribute. OIDs must never be re-used, and certainly you must not use two different attributes with the same OID. You use strlen/strncat, which are heavily discouraged in our code. (We never use strcat/strncat; we use strlen only when it's unavoidable.) (Some uses of strlen already existed in constraint.c; we just didn't get around to eliminating them.) In general we use bervals instead of flat strings, and there's almost never a reason to count string lengths at runtime. I got 3 rejects when applying the patch to my source tree (current HEAD). I think these points can all be cleaned up pretty easily. Let me know if you need any particular pointers. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

ITS#4366 userPassword compare
by hyc＠symas.com 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

I think this is in general a bad idea. It's already noted as such in the README, which is fine. The code generally looks pretty good, although it would need to be updated for cn=config support. Does anyone else see a reason to integrate this and get it working with cn=config? -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

(ITS#5285) password policy checks userPassword hash even without policies
by mbackes＠symas.com 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Full_Name: Matthew Backes Version: 2.3, 2.4, head, etc OS: all URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (67.115.65.234) When receiving a new userPassword, slapo-ppolicy checks to see if that password matches the hash already present in userPassword, and disallows it if this is the case. This is a sensible default for most circumstances, as otherwise the user could reset their age counters by using the same password. Unfortunately, it also blocks arguably-legitimate password changes; e.g. when migration to SSHA from CRYPT where the first 8 chars of the new password match the old. This patch changes this userPassword-has-changed check to only apply if there is a password policy defined which requires it; in particular, any of pwdInHistory, pwdMinAge, pwdMaxAge, pwdCheckQuality, or pwdMustChange must apply for this check to be enforced.
