Hi,
I'm trying to implement a password policy in LDAP.
I have a account lockout policy which locks the account when the password is entered incorrectly for 3 times continously.
I also have another rule for changing passwords that checks for the last 3 passwords and does not allow me to enter the same password while changing.
I need to provide a sys admin to be able to reset passwords for a userid once it gets locked due to the above policy.
As I understand, a password is reset by changing the password to "". This works if I reset the password from the LDAP UI but when I try to modify the password from my
java API it gives me an error saying that the password cannot be "" due to the second policy in place.
Is there any other way to reset the password through the API or do I have to reset it from the Iplanet UI itself.
I would appreciate if someone can give me a hint on what needs to be done.
Thanks
Sarang
