Hello, I was new to openldap, I try to use the default ppolicy with openldap 2.4.21 on suse linux, I didn't find much info in detail about how to config it when using cn=config. Could you take a look what I am missing here. I created and include the ldif file I think equivalent to slapd.conf , (convert the default ppolicy.shcema to ppolicy.ldif) : : include: file:///etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.ldif : : dn: olcOverlay={1}ppolicy,olcDatabase={1}bdb,cn=config objectClass: olcOverlayConfig objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig olcOverlay: {1}ppolicy olcPPolicyDefault: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com Also I added the container and the policies : : dn: ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: policies dn: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com cn: default objectClass: pwdPolicy objectClass: person objectClass: top pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE pwdAttribute: 2.5.4.35 #pwdAttribute: userPassword pwdCheckQuality: 2 pwdExpireWarning: 600 pwdFailureCountInterval: 30 pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 5 pwdInHistory: 5 pwdLockout: TRUE pwdLockoutDuration: 0 pwdMaxAge: 0 pwdMaxFailure: 5 pwdMinAge: 0 pwdMinLength: 8 pwdMustChange: FALSE pwdSafeModify: TRUE sn: dummy value the ppolicy.ldif look like this dn: cn=ppolicy,cn=schema,cn=config objectClass: olcSchemaConfig cn: ppolicy olcAttributeTypes: {0}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.1 NAME 'pwdAttribute' EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.38 ) olcAttributeTypes: {1}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.2 NAME 'pwdMinAge' EQUALITY in tegerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {2}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.3 NAME 'pwdMaxAge' EQUALITY in tegerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {3}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.4 NAME 'pwdInHistory' EQUALITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {16}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.5 NAME 'pwdCheckQuality' EQUAL ITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {5}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.6 NAME 'pwdMinLength' EQUALITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {6}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.7 NAME 'pwdExpireWarning' EQUA LITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {7}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.8 NAME 'pwdGraceAuthNLimit' EQ UALITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {8}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.9 NAME 'pwdLockout' EQUALITY b ooleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {9}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.10 NAME 'pwdLockoutDuration' E QUALITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {10}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.11 NAME 'pwdMaxFailure' EQUAL ITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {11}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.12 NAME 'pwdFailureCountInter val' EQUALITY integerMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {12}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.13 NAME 'pwdMustChange' EQUAL ITY booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {13}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.14 NAME 'pwdAllowUserChange' EQUALITY booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {14}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.15 NAME 'pwdSafeModify' EQUAL ITY booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcAttributeTypes: {15}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4754.1.99.1 NAME 'pwdCheckModule' DESC 'L oadable module that instantiates "check_password() function' EQUALITY caseExa ctIA5Match SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE ) olcObjectClasses: {0}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4754.2.99.1 NAME 'pwdPolicyChecker' SUP top AUXILIARY MAY pwdCheckModule ) olcObjectClasses: {1}( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.2.1 NAME 'pwdPolicy' SUP top AUXI LIARY MUST pwdAttribute MAY ( pwdMinAge $ pwdMaxAge $ pwdInHistory $ pwdCheck Quality $ pwdMinLength $ pwdExpireWarning $ pwdGraceAuthNLimit $ pwdLockout $ pwdLockoutDuration $ pwdMaxFailure $ pwdFailureCountInterval $ pwdMustChange $ pwdAllowUserChange $ pwdSafeModify ) ) Somehow the policy didn't seems apply to my user entries, like the pwdMinLength or pwdExpireWarning not take effect at all. I tried with pwdCheckQuality 1 or 2 , both not working. I guess I am missing some config, the old way has a step to load the module, is there something similar I need to do the new way? Really appreciate your time and help! Sophie |
