Re: exempt some users from OpenLDAP password policy

Dear Peter / ALL,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

So how can we exempt some users from password policy ?

Is it possible in OpenLDAP or not ?

Thanks,
Tayyab Saeed

Dear Tayyab,


well the error message says most of it.


The attribute pwdChangedTime is defined in sect. 5.3.2. of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10 as:

...

NO-USER-MODIFICATION
USAGE directoryOperation )


Which means, that an LDAP client is not allowed to modify the values of this attribute, and that it is to be modified by the directory server only.

And this makes perfectly sense, that the value is changed, if and only if the password is being changed.

Cheers,
Peter
