[Apologize for my English]

 

Hello

I'm trying to set up a password policy for my users. Especially, I set a 
password history value of 6.

 

In case of a password recovery process, I want to give to the administrator to 
restore the password to a default value which is equally the value used for the 
account creation. The problem at this time is obvious: the password change is 
refused since the default password is already in the history. Is there any way 
to force the password restauration?

 

Furthermore, I have some questions with about the way password history is 
working. 

I can see through 389-console that users have a multi-valued attributes 
passwordhistory. However I'm unable to get it with a command line ldapsearch 
request. How can I obtain this password history list?

Maybe for the same reason, if I delete the passwordhistory attribute and try to 
restore the password to its initial value, I always obtain an exception due to 
the presence of the password in the history.

 

Those points are not clearly referenced in the documentation. Thanks a lot for 
your help. 

 

Regards,
