4.3 Post-Installation Procedure

The integrated installation program creates the DirMXL-PasswordPolicy object in the Identity Vault and assigns it to the default driver set that it creates. Identity Manager requires this policy to be assigned to every driver set in the Identity Vault.

If the DirMXL-PasswordPolicy object does not exist in the Identity Vault, perform the following steps to create it. The process uses the ldapmodify utility, located by default in the /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin directory on Linux servers and the install/utilities directory of the Identity Manager installation kit on Windows servers:

  1. Create an LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file with the following attributes:

    dn: cn=DirXML-PasswordPolicy,cn=Password Policies,cn=Security 
changetype: add 
nsimPwdRuleEnforcement: FALSE 
nspmSpecialAsLastCharacter: TRUE 
nspmSpecialAsFirstCharacter: TRUE 
nspmSpecialCharactersAllowed: TRUE 
nspmNumericAsLastCharacter: TRUE 
nspmNumericAsFirstCharacter: TRUE 
nspmNumericCharactersAllowed: TRUE 
nspmMaximumLength: 64 
nspmConfigurationOptions: 596 
passwordUniqueRequired: FALSE 
passwordMinimumLength: 1 
passwordAllowChange: TRUE 
objectClass: nspmPasswordPolicy 


    dn: cn=DirXML-PasswordPolicy,cn=Password Policies,cn=Security 
changetype: modify 
add: nsimAssignments 
nsimAssignments: <driverset LDAP dn>

  2. Import the attributes from the LDIF file to the Identity Manager server by using the ldapmodify utility.

    • Linux: Run the following command: 

      ldapmodify -x -ZZ -c -h hostname_or_IP_address -p 389 -D "cn=admin,ou=sa,o=system" -w password -f path_to_ldif_file

      For example,

      ldapmodify -x -ZZ -c -h server1.test.com -p 389 -D "cn=admin,ou=sa,o=system" -w test123 -f /root/dirxmlpasswordpolicy.ldif

    • Windows: Run ldapmodify.exe.

      NOTE:If you are using the LDIF file from Step 1, ensure that you use a text editor for modifying it to suit your requirement. Copying the content as is might insert some hidden special characters in the file. If you are prompted with ldif_record() = 17 error message, inserting an extra space between the two DNs resolves the issue.

    This creates the DirMXL-PasswordPolicy object in the Identity Vault.

  3. Assign the DirMXL-PasswordPolicy object to each driver set in the Identity Vault.
