I’ve set password policies on my OpenLDAP 2.4. Unfortunately things do not work as expected and although extensively searched on forums and Google, I cannot get the proper
results. What am I missing in what I did or should have done? What goes wrong: -
Password policies seem not to be validated or I do get a failure message 5798c94a <= acl_access_allowed: granted to database root 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: replace userPassword 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: replace pwdChangedTime 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: add pwdHistory 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: replace pwdChangedTime 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: add pwdHistory 5798c94a bdb_modify_internal: 20 modify/add: pwdHistory: value #0 already exists 5798c94a hdb_modify: modify failed (20) 5798c94a send_ldap_result: conn=1000 op=18 p=3 5798c94a send_ldap_result: err=20 matched="" text="modify/add: pwdHistory: value #0 already exists" 5798c94a send_ldap_response: msgid=62 tag=103 err=20 ber_flush2: 61 bytes to sd 15 0000: 30 3b 02 01 3e 67 36 0a 01 14 04 00 04 2f 6d 6f 0;..>g6....../mo 0010: 64 69 66 79 2f 61 64 64 3a 20 70 77 64 48 69 73 dify/add: pwdHis 0020: 74 6f 72 79 3a 20 76 61 6c 75 65 20 23 30 20 61 tory: value #0 a 0030: 6c 72 65 61 64 79 20 65 78 69 73 74 73 lready exists ldap_write: want=61, written=61 0000: 30 3b 02 01 3e 67 36 0a 01 14 04 00 04 2f 6d 6f 0;..>g6....../mo 0010: 64 69 66 79 2f 61 64 64 3a 20 70 77 64 48 69 73 dify/add: pwdHis 0020: 74 6f 72 79 3a 20 76 61 6c 75 65 20 23 30 20 61 tory: value #0 a 0030: 6c 72 65 61 64 79 20 65 78 69 73 74 73 lready exists 5798c94a conn=1000 op=18 RESULT tag=103 err=20 text=modify/add: pwdHistory: value #0 already exists 5798c94a slap_graduate_commit_csn: removing 0x7f8a0c107960 20160727144634.392449Z#000000#000#000000 This makes, as far as I tested, no difference with just using a default policy or when using a default and specific policy with pwdPolicySubentry attribute in the user. I’ve used ACL’s on my LDAP schema. My purpose: Use a default policy which basically says to use no policy Add a specific policy for users in a subtree. Below are the steps and LDAP LDIF files used to build the OpenLDAP.
Included here are the LDIF files for: config, base and sub part of tree, replication ou and user, application users (service accounts), ldap managers ou, ACL’s, OU’s needed for application specific content, policy. Excluded here (but done) are the LDIF files for: enable logging, replication, TLS/SSL.
