[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 586 kerberos password policy

[Rob Crittenden]

Use kerberos password policy.

This lets the KDC count password failures and can lock out accounts for 
a period of time. This only works for KDC >= 1.8.

There currently is no way to unlock a locked account across a replica. 
MIT  Kerberos 1.9 is adding support for doing so. Once that is available 
unlock will be added.

The concept of a "global" password policy has changed. When we were 
managing the policy using the IPA password plugin it was smart enough to 
search up the tree looking for a policy. The KDC is not so smart and 
relies on the krbpwdpolicyreference to find the policy. For this reason 
every user entry requires this attribute. I've created a new 
global_policy entry to store the default password policy. All users 
point at this now. The group policy works the same and can override this 
setting.
