Hi all
I've finished my first contrib for Sme7
It creates a new panel in "Collaboration" section and it permits to:
- change passwordstrength for admin, ibays and user
- enable password ageing for users
you can set:
- password max age
- warning period
you can choose users to apply ageing settings.
when password age is > (max age - warning) users receive a mail with instructions to change their password.
if password age is > max age, admin receive mail with a warning
mail message to user can be modified editing a single file
currently only english and italian languages are supported
Todo:
- possibility to setup expiration period for account
- possibility to lock an account when password age > (max age + expiration time)
I've tested it on vmware and on real production servers successfully
Rpm can be found here:

thanx man, haven't installed or looked at it yet, but was missing from my contrib favourites, so you're now added...
Keep up the good work...
1 request: Instead of sending emails, is it possible when the user logs onto the server, to redirect them to the /server/user-password page and refuse them the connection until they change their password?
also, a suggestion, haven't seen any other contribs that would in the server panel allow you to change the strength of the passwords needed... considering this might get you more followers :lol:
otherwise, like i said, keep up the good work

Well this one does. I guess you need to install it and check it out. :lol:
You can set the password strength.

I think a lot of people will like this.
I think it's in the bug tracker how to get rpms into the smeaddons repository.

1 request: Instead of sending emails, is it possible when the user logs onto the server, to redirect them to the /server/user-password page and refuse them the connection until they change their password?
Hi..
I'm working on the next release of my contrib..
your request is fine, but not so easy to be done; I was thinking about logon script (i.e. windows client) but it works only if client is in domain.. and, what if smeserver-loginscript rpm is installed?
mmmhhh.. the easiest way is email, but I'm open to every good idea about other solutions

Maybe send them the email with the link to the /user-password page, also CC admin or specified adress so that they know the user is ignoring system messages the moment they get the call saying their passwords are not accepted... :wink:
-
Well this is not a problem. When they can't access mail they won't ignore the message. :)

Very nice contrib ! Thanks a lot !!!

Stefano this is indeed a very nice contrib! Thank you for your work.

I was playing around with the user-passwd-expiration script in
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/ executed by cron.daily.
I added the following in the script to lock a account when password is
expired :
system("/sbin/e-smith/signal-event", "user-lock", $name);
look for the following in the script and add the red one:
if ($time2warn >= $pwdwarn) {
system("/sbin/e-smith/signal-event", "user-lock", $name);
#message to admin is hardcoded in english; not so bad..
my $t1 = "To: admin\n";
With the Testsystem everything is working fine.
Maybe something to add to the contrib ?
Just my two cents.

well.. yes.. this is what I want to add in the next release, but:
- automatic locking has to be selectable by admin
- admin must have the possibility of reset last password modification date (think about automatic lock of all users if pwd age is older than the expiration)
- admin must receive a mail with locking notification
thanks again for your suggestions.. I'm working on this contrib but I have not much time to spend on it.. :-D

Hi Federico,
How did you install?
Hi..
I'm not Federico.. :-)
it's pretty easy:
cd /root
mkdir myrpm
cd myrpm
wget http://sviluppocms.no-ip.com/updates/smeserver-password-1.0.0-03.src.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-password
After it, in server-manager, under "Collaboration" section, you'll find a link "passwords"..

Hi Stefano,
Sorry bout that
Thanks for the info. But the option password does not show up.
I unistalled .03 and installed .02 but still didn't show up. I also created user stefano , becuase it was giving a warning when installing. So after I created user, I unistalled, (course booted) then installed . But didn't show up.
What is command line option to change to not strong passwords,this is all I need for the moment?
Thanks

You will need to install the binary rpm, not the source though ;-)

Hi 2 all.
I can't install this contrib on a fresh smeserver 7.2.
After i downloaded smeserver-password (1.0.0.3.noarch) i installed it with yum localinstall. But, after i make the signal-event reboot command, the password manager doesn't appear in the left menu.
What's is wrong?
I installed this contrib without problems on a 7.1.3 server! :?

Hello there!

SME7.2 has a requirement of 7chars minimum. Even if you setprop passwordstrength to none. This is I think a limitation and not a bug. If you can do a work around please post.

Hi,

SME7.2 has a requirement of 7chars minimum. Even if you setprop passwordstrength to none. This is I think a limitation and not a bug. If you can do a work around please post.
I guess this is none of his problem: he has no panel in the server-manager!
The-heck, I've tested this contribs under 7.2 succesfully. The panel appears in 'collaboration' menu in the server-manager...
i make the signal-event reboot command
That's not needed... But if something is wrong, you need # signal-event post-upgrade
# signal-event rebootTry to reconfigure your server, maybe something is wrong elsewhere.
Again, this contribs runs very well under SME 7.2.

Something bad happened since upgrading to 7.3 and smeserver-password-1.0.0-04 contrib locked a user because password aged. Even though I reseted the password, when trying to login with the roaming profile I still get a "Account has been disabled. Please contact the administrator" from any PC, but it is possible to log in to webmail.
This may or may not be related to smeserver-password, but I somehow have the feeling that it's related to the latest samba update. Any ideeas?
Created bug http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3755
It seems that this is a bug in 7.3, so anyone using this contrib try to set "Block account on password expiration?" to NO to avoid the same problem, have no clue yet how this can be fixed.
-
very nice contrib indeed... :)
A few suggestions.
Create a bugzilla component
A wiki page
Change section from collaboration to Security
& lodge in smecontribs
http://wiki.contribs.org/Releasing_Contribs
http://wiki.contribs.org/Package_Modification
Thanks
-
Installed and have to click refresh a few times to make it move from 'unknown' group in left server panel to 'Collaboration'.
However, shouldn't it be in 'Security' group in left frame of server-manager panels as it purpose is to set password strength and password aging?
I'll try to play with it (set/reset password strength,password aging) and report back to you if any problem encountered.
Great contrib indeed. Just what I need.

Hi Stefano
I just built a new 7.3 load from scratch, and applied all of the updates through the Software Installer panel link.
Following that reboot, I applied your contrib:
[root@summer ~]# cd /root
[root@summer ~]# mkdir myrpm
[root@summer ~]# cd myrpm
[root@summer ~]# wget http://sviluppocms.no-ip.com/updates/smeserver-password-1.0.0-04.noarch.rpm
[root@summer ~]# yum localinstall smeserver-password-1.0.0-04.noarch.rpm

Complete!
==============================================================
WARNING: You now need to run BOTH of the following commands
to ensure consistent system state:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
You should run these commands unless you are certain that
yum made no changes to your system.
==============================================================
After performing the signal-event tasks (post-upgrade and reboot), I see the "Password" option under Collaboration, however, some of the other panel tools are now moved under an "unknown" section heading:
Collaboration
Passwords
Groups
Quotas
Information bays
Administration
Backup or restore
View log files
Security
Remote access
Local networks
Proxy settings
Configuration
Software installer
Date and time
Workgroup
Printers
Review configuration
Miscellaneous
Support and licensing
Create starter web site
Unknown
useraccounts
clamav
directory
qmailanalog
reboot
portforwarding
domains
pseudonyms
hostentries
emailsettings
This doesn't look right! Is the contrib ok for 7.3?
Server appears to be functionning correctly otherwise and the password contrib DOES work - very nice indeed.
Can you advise please on panel appearance? Have I done something incorrectly?
Thanks

Hi Chris
try:
rpm -e smeserver-password
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-password

Superb!
All back in place.
Thank you Stafano and well done.

Hi Federico
thank you..
just a question: how did you install smeserver-password? I hope you did it via
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-password
Ciao
Stefano

First I tried:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-passwordbut it gave me an error message saying that there was nothing to do. I don't know why, I'm pretty sure the package was not already installed at that time.
Then I read your post:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,42836.msg202712.html#msg202712 (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,42836.msg202712.html#msg202712)
and tried
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-passwordand it actually installed it.
I tried to uninstall the package with
rpm -e smeserver-passwordand install it again by using
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-passwordand this time it worked. Again, don't know why/how.
Anyway now it works fine - that's the only important thing to me.
Thanks again, I think it's a very useful contrib, expecially considering ISO 9001-2008 rules about password managing&mantainment.
