Hallo,
we run a Redhat samba 3.5.4 PDC with openldap 2.4 as
user/passwordbackend. The ldap also contains the posix information for
the users to login to some web/mail/etc. servers.
I'm faced with the task to implement a 'both worlds' compatible paswword
sync process regarding complexity etc.
For the posix account password we use a webfrontend, configure to use
pam/cracklib checks which works fine. E.g. 'hello' is NOT allowed as
password :-)
Checking the password change from a windows 7 / XP notebook reveals,
that there is not such a complexity check used. E.g. 'hello' IS allowed
as a users password. :-(
Password syncing (posix <-> windows) works. That means changing from the
web or windows changes both ldap entries.
My question: can someone point me to some docs or can someone explain
how I can use (the same/a) camplexity check when changing passwords from
windows?
Thanks a lot and best regards . Götz
