See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo\-ppolicy \- Password Policy overlay to slapd +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +.LP +The +.B ppolicy +overlay +is an implementation of the most recent IETF Password +Policy proposal for LDAP. When instantiated, it intercepts, +decodes and applies specific password policy controls to overall +use of a backend database, changes to user password fields, etc. +.P +The overlay provides a variety of password control mechanisms. They +include password aging -- both minimum and maximum ages, password +reuse and duplication control, account time-outs, mandatory password +resets, acceptable password content, and even grace logins. +Different groups of users may be associated with different password +policies, and there is no limit to the number of password policies +that may be created. +.P +Note that some of the policies do not take effect when the operation +is performed with the +.B rootdn +identity; all the operations, when performed with any other identity, +may be subjected to constraints, like access control. This overlay +requires a rootdn to be configured on the database. +.P +During password update, an identity with +.B manage +access to the userPassword attribute is considered a password +administrator where relevant to the IETF Password Policy proposal. +.P +Note that the IETF Password Policy proposal for LDAP makes sense +when considering a single-valued password attribute, while +the userPassword attribute allows multiple values. This implementation +enforces a single value for the userPassword attribute, despite +its specification. +.P +In addition to supporting the IETF Password Policy, this module +supports the SunDS Account Usability control (1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.5.8) +on search requests and can send the Netscape Password validity controls +when configured to do so. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +configuration options apply to the ppolicy overlay. They should appear +after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B ppolicy_default <policyDN> +Specify the DN of the pwdPolicy object to use when no specific policy is +set on a given user's entry. If there is no specific policy for an entry +and no default is given, then no policies will be enforced. +.TP +.B ppolicy_forward_updates +Specify that policy state changes that result from Bind operations (such +as recording failures, lockout, etc.) on a consumer should be forwarded +to a provider instead of being written directly into the consumer's local +database. This setting is only useful on a replication consumer, and +also requires the +.B updateref +setting and +.B chain +overlay to be appropriately configured. +.TP +.B ppolicy_hash_cleartext +Specify that cleartext passwords present in Add and Modify requests should +be hashed before being stored in the database. This violates the X.500/LDAP +information model, but may be needed to compensate for LDAP clients that +don't use the Password Modify extended operation to manage passwords. It +is recommended that when this option is used that compare, search, and +read access be denied to all directory users. +.TP +.B ppolicy_use_lockout +A client will always receive an LDAP +.B InvalidCredentials +response when +Binding to a locked account. By default, when a Password Policy control +was provided on the Bind request, a Password Policy response will be +included with no special error code set. This option changes the +Password Policy response to include the +.B AccountLocked +error code. Note +that sending the +.B AccountLocked +error code provides useful information +to an attacker; sites that are sensitive to security issues should not +enable this option. +.TP +.B ppolicy_send_netscape_controls +If set, ppolicy will send the password policy expired (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.4) +and password policy expiring (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.5) controls when +appropriate. The controls are not sent for bind requests where the Password +policy control has already been requested. Default is not to send the controls. + +.SH OBJECT CLASS +The +.B ppolicy +overlay depends on the +.B pwdPolicy +object class. The definition of that class is as follows: +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.2.1 + NAME 'pwdPolicy' + AUXILIARY + SUP top + MUST ( pwdAttribute ) + MAY ( + pwdMinAge $ pwdMaxAge $ pwdInHistory $ + pwdCheckQuality $ pwdMinLength $ pwdMaxLength $ + pwdExpireWarning $ pwdGraceAuthnLimit $ + pwdGraceExpiry $ pwdLockout $ pwdLockoutDuration $ + pwdMaxFailure $ pwdFailureCountInterval $ + pwdMustChange $ pwdAllowUserChange $ + pwdSafeModify $ pwdMaxRecordedFailure $ + pwdMinDelay $ pwdMaxDelay $ pwdMaxIdle ) ) +.RE + +The +.B pwdPolicy +class is not structural, and so entries using it require another, +structural, object class. The +.B namedPolicy +object class is a good choice. +.B namedPolicy +requires a +.B cn +attribute, suitable as the policy entry's rDN. + +This implementation also provides an additional +.B pwdPolicyChecker +objectclass, used for password quality checking (see below). +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4754.2.99.1 + NAME 'pwdPolicyChecker' + AUXILIARY + SUP top + MAY ( pwdCheckModule $ pwdCheckModuleArg ) ) +.RE +.P +Every account that should be subject to password policy control should +have a +.B +pwdPolicySubentry +attribute containing the DN of a valid +.B pwdPolicy +entry, or they can simply use the configured default. +In this way different users may be managed according to +different policies. + +.SH OBJECT CLASS ATTRIBUTES +.P +Each one of the sections below details the meaning and use of a particular +attribute of this +.B pwdPolicy +object class. +.P + +.B pwdAttribute +.P +This attribute contains the name of the attribute to which the password +policy is applied.
