|
|
<p>The Directory Server provides many password options to ensure that only
|
|
authorized users are allowed to access the directory. These options are grouped
|
|
under password policy, password lockout, and password validation.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Password policy</span></p>
|
|
<p>To set the password policy, take these steps:</p>
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>Expand the <span class="bold">Manage security properties</span> category
|
|
in the navigation area of the Web Administration Tool, and select the <span class="bold">Password policy</span> tab. This panel displays a noneditable <span class="bold">Password attribute</span> field that contains the name
|
|
of the attribute that password policy is using.</li>
|
|
<li>Select the type of password encryption from the drop-down list:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt class="bold">None</dt>
|
|
<dd>No encryption. Passwords are stored in the clear text format.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">crypt</dt>
|
|
<dd>Passwords are encoded by the UNIX crypt encoding algorithm before they
|
|
are stored in the directory.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">SHA-1</dt>
|
|
<dd>Passwords are encoded by the SHA-1 encoding algorithm before they are
|
|
stored in the directory.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl></li>
|
|
<li>Select the <span class="bold">Password policy enabled</span> check
|
|
box to enable password policy.

|
|
none of the other functions on this or the other password panels are available
|
|
until the check box is enabled. By default, password policy is disabled.</div></li>
|
|
<li>Select the <span class="bold">User can change password</span> check
|
|
box to specify whether the user can change the password.</li>
|
|
<li>Select the <span class="bold">User must change password after reset</span> check box to specify whether the user must change the password after
|
|
logging on with a reset password.</li>
|
|
<li>Select the<span class="bold"> User must send password when changing</span> check box to specify whether the user, after the initial logon, needs
|
|
to specify the password again before being able to change the password.</li>
|
|
<li>Set the password expiration limit. Click the <span class="bold">Password Never Expires</span> radio button to specify that the password does
|
|
not have to be changed at a specific time interval, or click the <span class="bold">Days</span> radio button and specify the time interval, in days, when the password
|
|
needs to be reset.</li>
|
|
<li>Specify whether the system issues a password expiration warning before
|
|
the password expires.
|
|
<p>If you click the <span class="bold">Never
|
|
warn</span> radio button, the user is not warned before the previous password
|
|
expires. The user cannot access the directory until the administrator has
|
|
created a new password.</p>
|
|
<p>If you click the <span class="bold">Days before expiration</span> radio button and specify a number of days (n),
|
|
the user receives a warning prompt to change the password each time the user
|
|
logs on, starting n days before the password expires. The user can still access
|
|
the directory until the password expires.</p></li>
|
|
<li>Specify the number of times, if any, that the user can log in after the
|
|
password has expired. This selection enables the user to access the directory
|
|
with an expired password.</li>
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span>.</li></ol>
