7.1.1.1. Configuring a Global Password Policy Using the Console
To set up or modify the password policy for an entire directory, do the following:
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the
Configuration
tab and then the
Data
node.
2. In the right pane, select the
Passwords
tab.
This tab contains the password policy for the entire Directory Server.
3. Check the
Enable fine-grained password policy
checkbox. Enabling the password policy makes

checkbox. Enter the number of passwords for the server to keep for each user
in the
Remember X passwords
text box.
8. If user passwords should not expire, select the
Password never expires
radio button.
9. To require users to change their passwords periodically, select the
Password expires after X

radio button, and then enter the number of days that a user password is valid.
The maximum value for the password age is derived by subtracting January 18, 2038, from
today's date. The entered value must not be set to the maximum value or too close to the
maximum value. Setting the value to the maximum value can cause the Directory Server to fail
to start because the number of seconds will go past the epoch date. In such an event, the error
