missing ppolicy.la



Hi All,

i am getting following error while loading the ppolicy.ldif file.

 ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f ppolicy.ldif -H ldaps://xxx.xxx.xxx
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "ou=Policies,dc=example,dc=com"

adding new entry "cn=Standard,ou=Policies,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
        additional info: pwdMinAge: value #0 invalid per syntax

My ppolicy.ldif file looks like this:

dn: ou=Policies,dc=example,dc=com
ou: Policies
description: Directory policies.
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: cn=Standard,ou=Policies,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
cn: Standard
pwdAttribute: 2.5.4.35
pwdMinAge: 86400
# 30 days: 60 sec * 60 min * 24 hr * 30 days
pwdMaxAge: 2592000
pwdCheckQuality: 1
pwdMinLength: 8
# Warn three days in advance
pwdExpireWarning: 432000
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 3
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1800
pwdMaxFailure: 3
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: TRUE
objectclass: device
objectclass: pwdPolicy

I goggled above error and most of them pointed put that either ppolicy.la is not loaded properly or schema is not defined.

I tried location ppolicy.la in my system and was not able to find. I installed the openldap-ltb-2.4.39-2.el6.x86_64 version on RHEL6.5

Not sure if .la file was not included then why slapd.conf did not gave error when i loaded and restarted the ldap. Also is it possible that installation does not copy the .la file.


# Load dynamic backend modules:
 modulepath     /usr/local/openldap/libexec/openldap
 moduleload     back_bdb.la
 moduleload     ppolicy.la
# moduleload    back_hdb.la
# moduleload    back_ldap.la

Please help!!
 
Regards
Sam

Hi,
 
in this struggle of implementing OpenLdap  for the first time, without any knowledge whatsoever, I found this book:
 
 
In case of the password policy, I more or less followed it from page 320, onwards.
 
Hope that helps you.

Hi again,
 
I did create another user, gave it the proper permissions via ACL, and it worked, the policy was enforced when I tried to change another user's password.
 
Still in shock though, that the root user can mess up the other users data.

I Also stuck in this issue. My password policy was not working on openldap 2.4.23 so someone suggested me to upgrade as this is the older version. So i upgraded it to 2.4.39 but struggling to get SSL work for openssl.

really shock to see that there is no proper document for the installation and configuration. 2.4.39 have to be configured from source and not rpm so facing hell lot of issue.

Mantra to be repeated thousands of times:

Never use rootdn to bind.

Yes.
