Configuring the Password Policy

The actual password policy specification entry (nsPwPolicyEntry) for holding all the password policy attributes that are specific to the subtree. For example:

dn: cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com",

cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

objectclass: top

objectclass: extensibleObject

objectclass: ldapsubentry

objectclass: passwordpolicy

The CoS template entry (nsPwTemplateEntry) that has the pwdpolicysubentry value pointing to the above (nsPwPolicyEntry) entry. For example:

dn: cn="cn=nsPwTemplateEntry,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

objectclass: top

objectclass: extensibleObject

objectclass: costemplate

objectclass: ldapsubentry

cosPriority: 1

pwdpolicysubentry: cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

• The CoS specification entry at the subtree level. For example:

dn: cn=nsPwPolicy_cos,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

objectclass: top

objectclass: LDAPsubentry

objectclass: cosSuperDefinition

objectclass: cosPointerDefinition

cosTemplateDn: cn="cn=nsPwTemplateEntry,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com", cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

cosAttribute: pwdpolicysubentry default operational

For a user (for example, uid=jdoe, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com), the following entries are added:

A container entry (nsPwPolicyContainer) at the parent level for holding various password policy related entries for the user and all its children. For example:

dn: cn=nsPwPolicyContainer, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com

objectClass: top

objectClass: nsContainer

cn: nsPwPolicyContainer

The actual password policy specification entry (nsPwPolicyEntry) for holding the password policy attributes that are specific to the user. For example:
