last: how to change domain password policy?

By “domain password policy” I meant “Password policies” page!

@flatspin

user password policy change no errors, but no changes noticeable.

By “user password policy” I meant the “Enable password expiration” checkbox under “User > Edit” form.

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

o.k. thanks for clarifiing.

domain password policy: as mentioned above, no change noticable…

user password: I get an error when changing exparation, when the user is a member of a group.

something wrong with cn=domain or something like this?

If the user is no member of a group, no error apears.

If a empty group is created, message: “Task completed with errors” apears. But I think this is ment to this way (or better: this would be logical )

Seems like a space is not preserved

BTW, @flatspin: do you have a GitHub account? Could you set the issue #5103 assigned to you?

BTW, @flatspin: do you have a GitHub account? Could you set the issue #5103 assigned to you?

You must have one! As brand new quality team member!

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

ehhhh, nope. how to?

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

www.github.com -> signup

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

@alefattorini: that wasn’t the problem: nsflatspin.
flatspin was occupied So I choose nsflatspin with ns for Nethserver.

If I red right, someone has to give me rights to the nethserver project to assign this issue?
correct?

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

It’s up to @davidep

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

I think I did it.
I’m new to github and all this stuff.
What’s the reason to assign this issue to me?

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Because of this: QA/Testing Team basic HOWTO
we need to adapt this doc for github
@dz00te can you get right on that?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

You are testing the bug fix. If you think the package from nethserver-testing solves the problem you should add the verified label (and remove the testing label).

More info:

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

@alefattorini and @davidep thanks for explaining to a noob.
My weekend lecture will be github basics and the docs of your links.
Cheers.

[dz00te]

hi @flatspin and welcome aboard
the link with the basic howto is for 6.x, i need to adapt to 7 (ok starting now) no more redmine account but github is required…
link to dev manual v7 (posted from davidep) is more updated
let me know how we can improve the basic howto for new members… tnx

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

o.k. will read it carefully and let you know.
thx for your welcome.

[dz00te]

could you check/test the HowTo adapted for GitHub? tnx

I had a few minutes so I started up the ns7b problem vm I had off for the last few days. I tried to delete a user and create a user, both actions failed with the machine pty msg in the logs. I applied your new nethserver-dc, I then successfully deleted a user I had attempted to delete before, I then rebooted the vm, I then successfully created a user, I rebooted the vm again and successfully deleted the new user, there are no longer machine pty messages in the log.

@davidep

The bug has now its fix! Those who hit it (@fasttech, @JeffBales, @flatspin, @GG_jr, …) and the whole @quality_team: do you want to test it?

To reproduce the bug after installing nethserver-dc:

Close any ssh session

To install the fix:

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-dc-1.0.2-1.13.gd587784.ns7

To properly cover the code changes, re-test the following use cases:

user creation/modification/deletion
group creation/modification/deletion
user password policy change
domain password policy change
admin-todo reminder on Dashboard for Administrator’s password

Hi guys,
I just finished my tests.

How I tested:

• Install NS 7b2 from scratch (bare metal server).
• Make all updates.
• Edit the “Organizations contacts”.
• Edit the “Self-signed certificate”.
• Install the “Account provider: Samba Active Directory” package, from Software center.
• Install the “fix” - (Note 1) - After that, I closed the ssh sessions (WinSCP and PuTTY).
• Configure Samba AD - (Note 2) - done without issues!
• admin-todo reminder on Dashboard for Administrator’s password: Change password for user administrator@test.abt.ro (first time, from “Nethesis,1234”) - done without issues!
• user creation/modification/deletion - done without issues!
• group creation/modification/deletion - done without issues!
• user password policy change - done without issues!
• domain password policy change - done without issues!

Note:

I tested in this way because:

1. I wanted to simulate the following situation: the “nethserver-dc.x86_64 0:1.0.2-1.ns7” package is “good” from the beginning;

2. I wanted to see if with this “good” package, the configuration of the Samba AD will end without issues (till now, every time when I have configured Samba AD, I have encountered an issue, like I described here: Experimenting with Samba Domain Controller)

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

@dz00te thanks for the HOWTO.
So far so clear with the general workflow. Only thing I couldn’t figure out is the template thing.
Maybe it’s a language problem. My bad english.
I looked at other issues, but they’re looking similar to #5013 . So template ?

As a tester i have to wait until the dev has a new package for testing, and than test the new package again and so on until the bug is solved.

I like the article about the 14 ways to contribute. I learned exactly that way here in this community.
At this point I have to give a little praise to @alefattorini you’re doing a good job to get newcomers involved, like you involved me. Thanks for that my friend.

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

@davidep

To install the fix:

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-dc-1.0.2-1.13.gd587784.ns7

Did I mention that this package is installed?

[anon43345481]

• user creation/modification/deletion - no errors of creation/modifications/deletion. Checked using Windows 7 and no errors.

• group creation/modification/deletion - no errors on creation/modification/deletion

• user password policy change - Unchecked the “Strong passwords policy for users” and made a simple password - no errors. Checked with Windows 7 and no errors. Checked the “Strong password policy for users” and tried to make a simple password - error “Missing a upper case letter”.

• domain password policy change - There is not a Domain password policy page nor a Domain password policy line a page, only users and not domain. Using the Password Policy instead I unchecked the “Strong password policy for user” and made for a simple password - no errors. Checked with Windows 7 using the administrator and no errors. Checked the “Strong password policy for users” and tried to make a simple password - error “Missing a upper case letter”.

• admin-todo reminder on Dashboard for Administrator’s password - There was not a “Change administrator password” reminder on the Dashboard.
