<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello,<br><br></div>My company is having issues with our current install of IPA on RHEL 6.4.<br><br>** We had group patches that worked with IPA 2.2.0 and allowed us to enter samba groups directly in the IPA web interface. Red Hat is unable to confirm these patches are updated for IPA 3.0 RHEL 6.4 even though their Red Hat consultant created these a year ago.<br>
<br><br>** IPA password policy (history, length, complexity, etc.) enforcement<br><br></div>Our current versions are not allowing the IPA password policy to work with Samba. My Windows users are able to change their password either MANUALLY or WHEN FORCED to reset via the IPA interface. However, non of the password history, length, complexity and so on are enforced with Samba and users are able to either keep the same password or change it to anything they want without restrictions.<br>
<br><div><br>**
Samba password change also changing correctly the IPA expiration date
so IPA can successfully reset the (sambaPwdLastSet: 0) value upon 90
days since last password change<br><br></div><div>If we manually run ldapmodify and change the value of sambaPwdLastSet to equal 0, this correctly forces the end user to change their password in Windows.<br><br>The issue though is their IPA password expiration date listed in the interface isn't correctly showing the amount of days to expire NEXT. I have a test user that has a password policy of 1 day expiration. I would expect this user to show an expiration date of the next day after password change but for some reason it always keeps showing about 90 days out, which is my default policy for all users.<br>
<br>I need to be able to test that IPA is correctly expiring the password after 1 day so that I know in 90 days my other users will receive the same expiration.<br><br></div><div>For most of this year password expiration was not working and IPA is showing a password expiration of months ago when their password should have expired (samba never prompted for this change). Since we updated to IPA 3.0, I'm hoping that when I reset their sambaPwdLastSet to 0 that IPA will start enforcing a 90 day expiration again.<br>
<br><br></div><div>Any help you can provide on these issues would be greatly appreciated!<br><br></div><div>Also, what would you recommend for future IPA versions and Samba? Will RHEL 6.5 include a newer version of IPA that will work and integrate better with Samba? Or should we start looking at other options that integrate our password features more as they are needed, like Samba 4?<br>
<br></div><div>Thanks again!<br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div><br>-- <br>Zach
