Dear All,

How can we disable password policy completely?

What your ldap tree look like (the relevant parts, users, current ppolicy)?
As far as links, there are soo many out there. Just search for one that fits your enviroment
Here is how to add a ppolicy in the first place. 

How to add ppolicy to specific objects:

As Matthieu already mentioned, assuming you already have a ppolicy, then you would need to create a less restrictive policy and apply to specific users using the pwdPolicySubentry attribute

dave

Here is an example which you can apply per-user which needs to be exempted:

dn: cn=ppolicy-exclude,ou=policies,dc=organization,dc=org
cn: ppolicy-exclude
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicyChecker
objectClass: pwdPolicy
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdMustChange: FALSE
pwdLockout: FALSE

Hello,


You may either:

  • Set a relaxed default password policy using olcPPolicyDefault / ppolicy_default (or no default policy at all) and set more restrictive password policies on some of your users by setting the pwdPolicySubentry attribute on their object
  • Set a restrictive default password policy, and a relaxed ones on some of your users

Using one or the other depends on the proportions of exceptions you would generate: the less, the better

Dear Peter / ALL,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

So how can we exempt some users from password policy ?

Is it possible in OpenLDAP or not ?

Thanks,

Dear Tayyab,


well the error message says most of it.


The attribute pwdChangedTime is defined in sect. 5.3.2. of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10 as:

...

NO-USER-MODIFICATION
USAGE directoryOperation )


Which means, that an LDAP client is not allowed to modify the values of this attribute, and that it is to be modified by the directory server only.

And this makes perfectly sense, that the value is changed, if and only if the password is being changed.

Cheers,
Peter
