Hi,

Hugo Étiévant,

I believe you configured the sub tree password policy through ns-newpwpolicy.pl script.

When you configure the global password policy it may override the sub tree password policy. So make sure that 'nsslapd-pwpolicy-local' is 'on' in cn=config entry of dse.ldif file to make the sub tree policy to work.

This attribute decides whether the local password policy is enabled or not. Anyways the execution of ns-newpwpolicy.pl script will turn this attribute value to 'on'.

However you cannot see any traces of sub tree Password policy attributes by searching cn=config tree or in dse.ldif file. It will show only global password policy attributes.

You can see list of applied *sub tree *password policy *attributes* by performing a search like this.

/opt/dirsrv/bin/ldapsearch -v -h <host> -p <port> \

-D "<managerDN>" -w <passwd> -b <suffix>  *objectclass=ldapsubentry*

dn:cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=marketing,o=abc.com

objectClass: top

objectClass: ldapsubentry

objectClass: passwordpolicy

cn: cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com

passwordExp: off

passwordMaxAge: 10

passwordWarning: 15

passwordGraceLimit: 1

pwdpolicysubentry: cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=marketing,o=abc.com",cn=nsPwPolic

 yContainer,ou=marketing,o=abc.com

If you set a local password policy like this, _it will not use the global settings at all_ - it will not fallback on the global settings in cn=config - you must specify all of the parameters you care about in your local password policy. If you do not, it will fallback on either nothing or the hardcoded default in the server itself.

Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] Password policy don't work on a subtree

hello,

version : Directory Server 1.1.3 on Fedora 8 64 bits plateform

When i configure a password policy on a subtree of my directory, this

policy do not works.

When i configure a global password policy, this global policy works but

ignore locals policy of subtrees.

when i look at the databases ldif backup, il do not find the

"passwordMinLength" attribute for local password policy for subtrees

but this attribut exists in dse ldif for the global policy !

how resolve this ?

regards
