1. Proposed title of this feature request? RFE - Fine-grained configuration to password updates by admin users. 2. What are the nature and description of the request? That improvement should capable admin users to bypass not only password syntaxes but also password behavior, such as expiration timestamp and must change the password on the global/local login policies. 3. Why do you need this? (List the business requirements here) Enable administrators to bypass those policies according to their business needs. 4. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla? Not found. 5. Would you be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? Yes.
Upstream ticket: https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/issues/5770 Adding a new setting "passwordAdminSkipInfoUpdate: on/off" under cn=config If set to "off" only the password is changed, and NONE of the password state attributes in the user entry are updated: passwordInHistory, passwordExpirationTime, etc.
Fixed upstream
