Re: ppolicy

We are setting up a new service that is going to actually hold
passwords in the OpenLDAP database instead of using Kerberos (via
sasl and saslauthd). To that end, I'm investigating ppolicy.
However, what I haven't found in the man page (slapo-ppolicy), or the
Admin Guide, or the FAQ-O-Matic is whether I need to configure ppolicy
on the master and the replicas or just the master.
My assumption is that I need to set up ppolicy on the replicas as well
as the master -- otherwise those pwd* operational attributes are not
going to be legal on the replica and I'll get in trouble. I haven't
set up a test environment with a replica yet -- so, I'm asking here.
Yes you
have to set it up on every server.
I also see in the FAQ that ppolicy only works on OpenLDAP versions
greater than 2.3 (item 2 of the ppolicy checklist). So, I'm sensing
that ppolicy in OpenLDAP v2.3.x is not really completely functional?
Hm, to my
knowledge ppolicy was working fine with 2.3.x. But if you are
setting up a new service it would be wise to go with the latest stable
release IMO.
Am I reading too much into the entry in the FAQ?
Hm, I think
that entry it's plain wrong. Unless somebody else vetos I am
going to remove that entry.
