This lets the KDC count password failures and can lock out accounts for a period of time. This only works for KDC >= 1.8. There currently is no way to unlock a locked account across a replica. MIT Kerberos 1.9 is adding support for doing so. Once that is available unlock will be added. The concept of a "global" password policy has changed. When we were managing the policy using the IPA password plugin it was smart enough to search up the tree looking for a policy. The KDC is not so smart and relies on the krbpwdpolicyreference to find the policy. For this reason every user entry requires this attribute. I've created a new global_policy entry to store the default password policy. All users point at this now. The group policy works the same and can override this setting. As a result the special "GLOBAL" name has been replaced with global_policy. This policy works like any other and is the default if a name is not provided on the command-line. ticket 51
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
