Password Policy and Account Lockout

Details

Tags: using liferay

Table of Contents [-]

Liferay now implements enterprise password policies and user account lockout. Password policies can either be managed internally (from the Enterprise Admin Portlet), or it can be delegated to LDAP (from Enterprise Admin Portlet -> Authentication -> LDAP -> User LDAP Password Policy).

Password Policy Settings #

Changeable Settings #

Changeable: Allow user to change his own password
Change Required: Require the user to change his password (?)
Minimum Age: This determines how long a user must wait before changing their password again

Syntax Checking #

Syntax Checking Enabled: Enable portal to check for certain words and length requirements
Allow Dictionary Words: Allow a dictionary word to be used as the password
Minimum Length: The minimum length of a password

Password History #

History Enabled: Enable tracking of password history, to prevent reuse of old passwords
History Count: The number of passwords to keep in the history

Password Expiration #

Expiration Enabled: Enable passwords to expire after a specified time
Maximum Age: The maximum time that a password is valid, before it needs to be changed again
Warning Time: The time before a password expires, in which to warn the user of the upcoming password expiration
Grace Limit: The number of logins allowed after the password has already expired

User Account Lockout #

Lockout Enabled: Enable user accounts to get locked out after a specified number of failed logins
Maximum Failure: The maximum number of failed login attempts before the account is locked out
Reset Failure Count: The time before the "failed login count" is reset
Lockout Duration: The time that a user is locked out, preventing them from logging in

Exactly how do you implement a custom password policy? I cannot find any documentation on this.

I tried to set "Change Required" to be true, and in the database it shows that the value was successfully set; however new users are not required to reset password at first sign in, unless I check the "reset required" check box at the user password page. So it seems to me the BeanParmUtil.getBoolean function doesn't work.

Can you please tell me how can I uncheck the "Changeable" option in the dashboard default password policy ? By default its showing checked in the dashboard default password policy and its not allowing me to uncheck it .

Can you tell me the portal.ext.properties setting corresponding to this setting ?
