Re: Ldap password policy not throwing different errors

Hi, So how will you distinct between the cases? How user or admin will be able to know if that user is blocked?

Thanks, Idan.

Hi,

I use ppolicy overlay and enabled ppolicy_use_lockout to separate between invalid password and locked accounts.

database    bdb
suffix      "dc=openiam,dc=com"
rootdn      "cn=Manager,dc=openiam,dc=com"
rootpw      "{SSHA}2ttRoo/t5HuMT2nPxtI6goVUML5R2H9h"
# PPolicy Configuration
overlay ppolicy
ppolicy_default "cn=default,ou=policies,dc=openiam,dc=com"
ppolicy_use_lockout
ppolicy_hash_cleartext

I tried to lock user account by entering wrong password couple of times (pwdMaxFailure)

The user is being locked but when I try to login again I still get the same error:

Invalid credentials (49)

Any idea why i am not getting diffrent error to disticnt between the cases?

1. there is no appropriate result message for password policy. RFC 4511 Section 4.1.9 defines all result messages and Appendix A provides in brief a general description. 2. In your particular case result 49 is a substitution in order to prevent an unauthorized disclosure.
