Hi Dennis/All,

I figured out that why password policies are not working. Th reason is that it did not got loaded successfully in ldap db. I am getting below error..

adding new entry "ou=Policies,dc=j,dc=example=,dc=com"
ldap_add: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
        additional info: no global superior knowledge

What i read is that The error no global superior knowledge means that slapd doesn't know where to put your new entry. Not getting what it means and how to fix it. Please help!!

 
Regards
Sam

Hi Denis,

I did following steps in order to get the password policy work, still nothing is working.

1) In my slapd.conf file added below lines:
# Password Policy Configuration
overlay ppolicy
ppolicy_default "cn=default,ou=Policies,dc=j,dc=example,dc=com"
ppolicy_use_lockout
ppolicy_hash_cleartext

# ACL Entry for Password Policies
access to attrs=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by * none
access to *
        by self write
        by * read
2) Loaded the password policy .ldif file into ldap by ldapadd. O/t of password policy .ldif files is:
# Creates a Policies OU (Organizational Unit)
dn: ou=Policies,dc=j,dc=cinglevue=,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Policies

# Creates a Policy object in Policies OU (Organizational Unit)
dn: cn=default,ou=Policies,dc=j,dc=cinglevue,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: default
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdMaxAge: 3888000
pwdExpireWarning: 604800
pwdInHistory: 3
pwdCheckQuality: 1
pwdMinLength: 8
pwdMaxFailure: 5
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1800
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE

Have a look at the shadow* attributes from the shadowAccount class.
Those should help you enforcing password related stuff. For self
changes of passwords use an ACL like:
access to attrs=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by * none

Greetings,

Dennis
