Hi Loris,
Thanks for the quick and informational response.
I'm going to ask for a little hand holding here. I'm not well versed in
LDAP or IPA.
********************************************************************************************
>>>>>>>> How would I use ldapsearch to check that this value is correctly
set already? I have already set "ldap passwd sync = only in smb.conf" as
recommended by our Red Hat Consultant.
>>>>>>>> Where can I find that patch that is needed to correctly set the
sambaPwdLastSet attribute?
To have some correspondence between IPA password policies and samba
password policies you need to:
1. Create a sufficiently privileged "bind user" in ipa and have
samba connect to IPA using that "bind user". For example
uid=sambaadmin,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com
2. To have password changes in windows work as normal user password
changes (instead of password resets) you must add the above
"bind user" to the "passsyncmanagersdn" attribute of the
ipa_pwd_extop plugin configuration. Similar to what is explained
here:
http://www.freeipa.org/docs/1.2/Installation_Deployment_Guide/en-US/html/sect-Installation_and_Deployment_Guide-Setting_up_Synchronization_Between_IPA_and_Active_Directory-Setting_up_Windows_Sync_on_the_IPA_Server.html
3. Samba should not mess with password expiration attributes in
ldap, so you should set "ldap passwd sync = only" in smb.conf
4. You need a small patch in the ipa_pwd_extop plugin to have it
set the sambaPwdLastSet attributes on password changes
5. Samba password policies (Maximum password duration, minimum
password duration) should match the IPA password policies
>>>>>>>>> Below are the patches I received from our Red Hat consultant.
Is this similar to what your talking about?
