Hello All
I am fairly new to openldap and have some questions about password policys. We are running ldap on RHEL5 and using openldap 2.3.27. The ppolicy overlay gives me a lot of what I need but RHEL5 does not seem to have it installed. How can I get this installed? Also the best that I can tell is that ppolicy does not have any dictionary checks either. Is this true or did I just miss something? What I would like to setup is what we currently have in place using cracklib. Minlen=8 at least 1 Uppercase, 1 Lowercase, 1 Number, 1 special char.

In order to install the ppolicy overlay, openldap has to be build with overlays enabled. I don't know wether RedHat does include overlays in their built. With regard to dictionary checks, slapo-ppolicy(5) refers to pwdPolicyChecker object class.

Hi,
ppolicy is not enabled in the latest RPMS available for RHEL5 (ie, RHEL5.2), this feature will be available on RHEL5.3.
You can try using the RHEL5.3 beta packages (*openldap-servers & openldap-servers-overlays* ) which is currently available through http://rhn.redhat.com.
