slapo-ppolicy - Password Policy overlay to slapd

/etc/ldap/slapd.conf

The ppolicy overlay is an implementation of the most recent IETF Password Policy proposal for LDAP. When instantiated, it intercepts, decodes and applies specific password policy controls to overall use of a backend database, changes to user password fields, etc.

The overlay provides a variety of password control mechanisms. They include password aging -- both minimum and maximum ages, password reuse and duplication control, account time-outs, mandatory password resets, acceptable password content, and even grace logins. Different groups of users may be associated with different password policies, and there is no limit to the number of password policies that may be created.

Note that some of the policies do not take effect when the operation is performed with the rootdn identity; all the operations, when performed with any other identity, may be subjected to constraints, like access control. This overlay requires a rootdn to be configured on the database.

During password update, an identity with manage access to the userPassword attribute is considered a password administrator where relevant to the IETF Password Policy proposal.

Note that the IETF Password Policy proposal for LDAP makes sense when considering a single-valued password attribute, while the userPassword attribute allows multiple values. This implementation enforces a single value for the userPassword attribute, despite its specification.

In addition to supporting the IETF Password Policy, this module supports the SunDS Account Usability control (1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.5.8) on search requests and can send the Netscape Password validity controls when configured to do so.

These slapd.conf configuration options apply to the ppolicy overlay. They should appear after the overlay directive.

Specify the DN of the pwdPolicy object to use when no specific policy is set on a given user's entry. If there is no specific policy for an entry and no default is given, then no policies will be enforced.
Specify that policy state changes that result from Bind operations (such as recording failures, lockout, etc.) on a consumer should be forwarded to a provider instead of being written directly into the consumer's local database. This setting is only useful on a replication consumer, and also requires the updateref setting and chain overlay to be appropriately configured.
Specify that cleartext passwords present in Add and Modify requests should be hashed before being stored in the database. This violates the X.500/LDAP information model, but may be needed to compensate for LDAP clients that don't use the Password Modify extended operation to manage passwords. It is recommended that when this option is used that compare, search, and read access be denied to all directory users.
A client will always receive an LDAP InvalidCredentials response when Binding to a locked account. By default, when a Password Policy control was provided on the Bind request, a Password Policy response will be included with no special error code set. This option changes the Password Policy response to include the AccountLocked error code. Note that sending the AccountLocked error code provides useful information to an attacker; sites that are sensitive to security issues should not enable this option.
If set, ppolicy will send the password policy expired (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.4) and password policy expiring (2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.5) controls when appropriate. The controls are not sent for bind requests where the Password policy control has already been requested. Default is not to send the controls.

The ppolicy overlay depends on the pwdPolicy object class. The definition of that class is as follows:

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.2.1
NAME 'pwdPolicy'
AUXILIARY
SUP top
MUST ( pwdAttribute )
MAY (
pwdMinAge $ pwdMaxAge $ pwdInHistory $

pwdGraceExpiry $ pwdLockout $ pwdLockoutDuration $
pwdMaxFailure $ pwdFailureCountInterval $
pwdMustChange $ pwdAllowUserChange $
pwdSafeModify $ pwdMaxRecordedFailure $
pwdMinDelay $ pwdMaxDelay $ pwdMaxIdle ) )

The pwdPolicy class is not structural, and so entries using it require another, structural, object class. The namedPolicy object class is a good choice. namedPolicy requires a cn attribute, suitable as the policy entry's rDN.

This implementation also provides an additional pwdPolicyChecker objectclass, used for password quality checking (see below).

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4754.2.99.1
NAME 'pwdPolicyChecker'
AUXILIARY
SUP top
MAY ( pwdCheckModule $ pwdCheckModuleArg ) )

Every account that should be subject to password policy control should have a pwdPolicySubentry attribute containing the DN of a valid pwdPolicy entry, or they can simply use the configured default. In this way different users may be managed according to different policies.

Each one of the sections below details the meaning and use of a particular attribute of this pwdPolicy object class.

pwdAttribute

This attribute contains the name of the attribute to which the password policy is applied. For example, the password policy may be applied to the userPassword attribute.

Note: in this implementation, the only value accepted for pwdAttribute is userPassword .

pwdMinAge

This attribute contains the number of seconds that must elapse between modifications allowed to the password. If this attribute is not present, zero seconds is assumed (i.e. the password may be modified whenever and however often is desired).

pwdInHistory

This attribute is used to specify the maximum number of used passwords that will be stored in the pwdHistory attribute. If the pwdInHistory attribute is not present, or if its value is zero (0), used passwords will not be stored in pwdHistory and thus any previously-used password may be reused. No history checking occurs if the password is being modified by the rootdn, although the password is saved in the history.

pwdCheckQuality

This attribute indicates if and how password syntax will be checked while a password is being modified or added. If this attribute is not present, or its value is zero (0), no syntax checking will be done. If its value is one (1), the server will check the syntax, and if the server is unable to check the syntax, whether due to a client-side hashed password or some other reason, it will be accepted. If its value is two (2), the server will check the syntax, and if the server is unable to check the syntax it will return an error refusing the password.

pwdMinLength

When syntax checking is enabled (see also the pwdCheckQuality attribute), this attribute contains the minimum length in bytes that will be accepted in a password. If this attribute is not present, minimum password length is not enforced. If the server is unable to check the length of the password, whether due to a client-side hashed password or some other reason, the server will, depending on the value of pwdCheckQuality, either accept the password without checking it (if pwdCheckQuality is zero (0) or one (1)) or refuse it (if pwdCheckQuality is two (2)). If the number of characters should be enforced with regards to a particular encoding, the use of an appropriate pwdCheckModule is required.

This attribute specifies the action that should be taken by the directory when a user has made a number of failed attempts to authenticate to the directory. If pwdLockout is set (its value is "TRUE"), the user will not be allowed to attempt to authenticate to the directory after there have been a specified number of consecutive failed bind attempts. The maximum number of consecutive failed bind attempts allowed is specified by the pwdMaxFailure attribute. If pwdLockout is not present, or if its value is "FALSE", the password may be used to authenticate no matter how many consecutive failed bind attempts have been made.

pwdLockoutDuration

This attribute contains the number of seconds during which the password cannot be used to authenticate the user to the directory due to too many consecutive failed bind attempts. (See also pwdLockout and pwdMaxFailure.) If pwdLockoutDuration is not present, or if its value is zero (0), the password cannot be used to authenticate the user to the directory again until it is reset by an administrator.

pwdMustChange

This attribute specifies whether users must change their passwords when they first bind to the directory after a password is set or reset by the administrator, or not. If pwdMustChange has a value of "TRUE", users must change their passwords when they first bind to the directory after a password is set or reset by the administrator. If pwdMustChange is not present, or its value is "FALSE", users are not required to change their password upon binding after the administrator sets or resets the password.

pwdAllowUserChange

This attribute specifies whether users are allowed to change their own passwords or not. If pwdAllowUserChange is set to "TRUE", or if the attribute is not present, users will be allowed to change their own passwords. If its value is "FALSE", users will not be allowed to change their own passwords.

Note: this implies that when pwdAllowUserChange is set to "TRUE", users will still be able to change the password of another user, subjected to access control. This restriction only applies to modifications of ones's own password. It should also be noted that pwdAllowUserChange was defined in the specification to provide rough access control to the password attribute in implementations that do not allow fine-grain access control. Since OpenLDAP provides fine-grain access control, the use of this attribute is discouraged; ACLs should be used instead (see slapd.access(5) for details).

If pwdSafeModify is set to "TRUE", the existing password must be sent along with the new password. If the attribute is not present, or its value is "FALSE", the existing password need not be sent along with the new password.

pwdMinDelay

This attribute specifies the number of seconds to delay responding to the first failed authentication attempt. If this attribute is not set or is zero (0), no delays will be used. pwdMaxDelay must also be specified if pwdMinDelay is set.

The time specified in pwdMinDelay is used as the starting time and is then doubled on each failure until the delay time is greater than or equal to pwdMaxDelay (or a successful authentication occurs, which resets the failure counter). pwdMinDelay must also be specified if pwdMaxDelay is set.

pwdCheckModule/pwdCheckModuleArg

This attribute names a user-defined loadable module that must instantiate the check_password() function. This function will be called to further check a new password if pwdCheckQuality is set to one (1) or two (2), after all of the built-in password compliance checks have been passed. This function will be called according to this function prototype:

int check_password (char *pPasswd, char **ppErrStr, Entry *pEntry, struct berval *pArg);
The pPasswd parameter contains the clear-text user password, the ppErrStr parameter contains a double pointer that allows the function to return human-readable details about any error it encounters.

The pEntry parameter is optional, if non-NULL, carries a pointer to the entry whose password is being checked.

The optional pArg parameter points to a struct berval containing the value of pwdCheckModuleArg in the effective password policy, if set, otherwise NULL.

If ppErrStr is NULL, then funcName must NOT attempt to use it/them. A return value of LDAP_SUCCESS from the called function indicates that the password is ok, any other value indicates that the password is unacceptable. If the password is unacceptable, the server will return an error to the client, and ppErrStr may be used to return a human-readable textual explanation of the error. The error string must be dynamically allocated as it will be free()'d by slapd.

Note: The user-defined loadable module named by pwdCheckModule must be in slapd's standard executable search PATH.

Note: pwdCheckModule is a non-standard extension to the LDAP password policy proposal.

The operational attributes used by the ppolicy module are stored in the user's entry. Most of these attributes are not intended to be changed directly by users; they are there to track user activity. They have been detailed here so that administrators and users can both understand the workings of the ppolicy module.

Note that the current IETF Password Policy proposal does not define how these operational attributes are expected to behave in a replication environment. In general, authentication attempts on a replica server only affect the copy of the operational attributes on that replica and will not affect any attributes for a user's entry on the provider. Operational attribute changes resulting from authentication attempts on a provider will usually replicate to the replicas (and also overwrite any changes that originated on the replica). These behaviors are not guaranteed and are subject to change when a formal specification emerges.

userPassword

The userPassword attribute is not strictly part of the ppolicy module. It is, however, the attribute that is tracked and controlled by the module. Please refer to the standard OpenLDAP schema for its definition.

pwdPolicySubentry

This attribute refers directly to the pwdPolicy subentry that is to be used for this particular directory user. If pwdPolicySubentry exists, it must contain the DN of a valid pwdPolicy object. If it does not exist, the ppolicy module will enforce the default password policy rules on the user associated with this authenticating DN. If there is no default, or the referenced subentry does not exist, then no policy rules will be enforced.

IETF LDAP password policy proposal by P. Behera, L. Poitou and J. Sermersheim: documented in IETF document "draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10.txt".

The LDAP Password Policy specification is not yet an approved standard, and it is still evolving. This code will continue to be in flux until the specification is finalized.

This module was written in 2004 by Howard Chu of Symas Corporation with significant input from Neil Dunbar and Kartik Subbarao of Hewlett-Packard.

This manual page borrows heavily and shamelessly from the specification upon which the password policy module it describes is based. This source is the IETF LDAP password policy proposal by P. Behera, L. Poitou and J. Sermersheim. The proposal is fully documented in the IETF document named draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10.txt, written in August of 2009.
