Fedora directory users - Jan 2006 - Re: enforce strong passwords

Hi Nathan,

yep this would meet my requirements.
As an aside: Would it be in scope of this project to have a webinterface to
allow the users to change their passwords?
If the endusers don''t have a valid shell on a Unix box and they need to
change their password.

Would the ldapserver give back meaningfull errors as to why a password
change was rejected?
Maybe a stupid question: Will changing the password via ldappasswd enforce
all the policies set? ( e.g. password history, lockout, expiration)
If ldappasswd does this, I guess it does, I guess a webinterface would
basically be a frontend to ldappasswd.

Greetings,
Jo

The Directory Server Gateway web application included with Fedora DS 
allows users to change their password.

The LDAP password policy draft does not break things down into quite the 
level of detail you might need.  We''ll see if we can extend it.
