Directory Services 7.3.5

Password Policy Import Plugin

The Password Policy Import Plugin ensures that clear-text passwords contained in LDIF entries are properly encoded before they are stored in the appropriate directory server backend.

Parent

The Password Policy Import Plugin object inherits from Plugin.

Dependencies

Password Policy Import Plugins depend on the following objects:

Basic properties

default-auth-password-storage-scheme

Synopsis

Specifies the names of password storage schemes that to be used for encoding passwords contained in attributes with the auth password syntax for entries that do not include the ds-pwp-password-policy-dn attribute specifying which password policy should be used to govern them.

Default value

If the default password policy uses an attribute with the auth password syntax, then the server uses the default password storage schemes for that password policy. Otherwise, it encodes auth password values using the "SHA1" scheme.

Allowed values

The name of an existing password-storage-scheme.

The referenced password storage schemes must be enabled when the Password Policy Import plug-in is enabled.

default-user-password-storage-scheme

Synopsis

Specifies the names of the password storage schemes to be used for encoding passwords contained in attributes with the user password syntax for entries that do not include the ds-pwp-password-policy-dn attribute specifying which password policy is to be used to govern them.

Default value

If the default password policy uses the attribute with the user password syntax, then the server uses the default password storage schemes for that password policy. Otherwise, it encodes user password values using the "SSHA" scheme.

Allowed values

The name of an existing password-storage-scheme.

The referenced password storage schemes must be enabled when the Password Policy Import Plugin is enabled.
