Hi. From FreeRADIUS debug I can conclude that if first does search against LDAP with given username and base DN and then, if the search is successful, binds with given credentials. Both posixAccount and shadowAccount in LDAP does not have any attributes to count bad passwords and block users based no that. You can lock user with shadowAccount by butting LK in the beginning of his userPassword attribute value IIRC. But counting 3 or more bad passwords in a raw is a kind of extended logic here. There is an option for this in sambaSamAccount object class, but people complain that it is not working as promised. Just my 2 cents. A. Martin.Ward@uk.neceur.com wrote:
Hi all,
I am using freeradius to talk to an OpenLDAP server to validate passwords. This all works fine and dandy. If the user enters the right password they get in, if they enter the wrong password the don't.
However, I can't find a way of locking out the user if they enter an invalid password three times in a row. I've trolled through the LDAP stuff but can't find anything in there. Is there a way I can create a password policy to do this?
