    Enabled by default: false

    See the section called “Password Policy” for the properties of this Authentication Policy type.

`-f | --force`

  Ignore non-existent Authentication Policies.

  Authentication Policy properties depend on the Authentication Policy type, which depends on the null you provide.

  By default, OpenDJ directory server supports the following Authentication Policy types:

  ldap-pass-through-authentication-policy

    Default null: LDAP Pass Through Authentication Policy

    Enabled by default: false

    See the section called “LDAP Pass Through Authentication Policy” for the properties of this Authentication Policy type.

  password-policy

    Default null: Password Policy

    Enabled by default: false

    See the section called “Password Policy” for the properties of this Authentication Policy type.

## LDAP Pass Through Authentication Policy

Authentication Policies of type ldap-pass-through-authentication-policy have the following properties:

cached-password-storage-scheme
  Description

    Specifies the name of a password storage scheme which should be used for encoding cached passwords. Changing the password storage scheme will cause all existing cached passwords to be discarded.

  Default Value

    None

  Allowed Values

    The DN of any Password Storage Scheme. The referenced password storage schemes must be enabled.

  Multi-valued

    No

  Advanced Property

    No

  Read-only

    No

cached-password-ttl
  Description

    Specifies the maximum length of time that a locally cached password may be used for authentication before it is refreshed from the remote LDAP service. This property represents a cache timeout. Increasing the timeout period decreases the frequency that bind operations are delegated to the remote LDAP service, but increases the risk of users authenticating using stale passwords. Note that authentication attempts which fail because the provided password does not match the locally cached password will always be retried against the remote LDAP service.

  Default Value

    8 hours

  Allowed Values

    Some property values take a time duration. Durations are expressed as numbers followed by units. For example `1 s` means one second, and `2 w` means two weeks. Some durations have minimum granularity or maximum units, so you cannot necessary specify every duration in milliseconds or weeks for example. Some durations allow you to use a special value to mean unlimited. Units are specified as follows.

    - `ms`: milliseconds

    - `s`: seconds

    - `m`: minutes

    - `h`: hours

    - `d`: days

    - `w`: weeks

    Lower limit is 0 seconds.

  Default Value

    3 seconds

  Allowed Values

    Some property values take a time duration. Durations are expressed as numbers followed by units. For example `1 s` means one second, and `2 w` means two weeks.

  Description

    Indicates whether LDAP connections should use TCP keep-alive. If enabled, the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option is used to indicate that TCP keepalive messages should periodically be sent to the client to verify that the associated connection is still valid. This may also help prevent cases in which intermediate network hardware could silently drop an otherwise idle client connection, provided that the keepalive interval configured in the underlying operating system is smaller than the timeout enforced by the network hardware.

Some durations allow you to use a special value to mean unlimited. Units are specified as follows.

    - `ms`: milliseconds

    - `s`: seconds

    - `m`: minutes

    - `h`: hours

    - `d`: days

    - `w`: weeks

require-change-by-time
  Description

    Specifies the time by which all users with the associated password policy must change their passwords. The value is expressed in a generalized time format. If this time is equal to the current time or is in the past, then all users are required to change their passwords immediately. The behavior of the server in this mode is identical to the behavior observed when users are forced to change their passwords after an administrative reset.

  Default Value

    None

  Allowed Values

    A valid timestamp in generalized time form (for example, a value of "20070409185811Z" indicates a value of April 9, 2007 at 6:58:11 pm GMT).

state-update-failure-policy
  Description

    Specifies how the server deals with the inability to update password policy state information during an authentication attempt. In particular, this property can be used to control whether an otherwise successful bind operation fails if a failure occurs while attempting to update password policy state information (for example, to clear a record of previous authentication failures or to update the last login time). It can also be used to control whether to reject a bind request if it is known ahead of time that it will not be possible to update the authentication failure times in the event of an unsuccessful bind attempt (for example, if the backend writability mode is disabled).

  Default Value

    reactive

  Allowed Values
    ignore

      If a bind attempt would otherwise be successful, then do not reject it if a problem occurs while attempting to update the password policy state information for the user.

    proactive

      Proactively reject any bind attempt if it is known ahead of time that it would not be possible to update the user's password policy state information.

    reactive

      Even if a bind attempt would otherwise be successful, reject it if a problem occurs while attempting to update the password policy state information for the user.
