RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Daniel Filho 2023-02-01 13:59:07 UTC 
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.
