This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/417 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843576 (''Red Hat Directory Server'') {{{ RFE Request 0. Proposed title of this feature request Feature Request: forcing passwordmustchange attribute by non-cn=directory manager 2. What is the nature and description of the request? Feature Request: forcing passwordmustchange attribute by non-cn=directory manager 3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) In an enterprise environment it is increasingly important that several sub-departments are able to perform different tasks in an LDAP database. A typical enterprise would like to give their Operations/Servicedesk department the ability to reset user passwords when users call the Servicedesk when they forgot theirs, but no more rights than that. In terms of providing the aci's to a specific user for the Servicedesk this is doable, but the 'User must change password after reset' flag in the password policy of Directory Server only applies to resets done by the Directory Manager. This user is akin to the 'root'/super user in Directory Manager and this user has far too many rights for a department like Operations/Servicedesk to handle. It poses a security risk. An enterprise would need more flexibility with this attribute, for example set it that several extra users trigger this flag when resetting another user's password, or to make it in such a way that any user except the user itself which changes the password, triggers the flag that the user must change password at next login. 4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here) Functionality for forcing passwordmustchange attribute for all users. 5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented. - Create a user, which has rights to change password for a sub-ou. - Use above user to change password of x user, Try to login with x user. 6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla? No 7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release) No time-line 8. Does this request meet the RHEL Bug and Feature Inclusion Criteria (please review) Yes 9. List the affected packages 389-ds-base 10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? Yes }}}
