I want the account lockout policy of all 3 servers to be the same, and the account lockout status of a given bind-dn to be the same across all 3.

I made the config shown below, but when I locked an account via purposely failed bind attempts to one of the consumers, neither the supplier nor the other consumer got informed that the account was locked. Any ideas?

Looks like you are half way there.

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/...

Are any of these consumers read-only? If so, then you'll have to do something like chain-on-bind request so that the password policy attributes are stored on a writable master. http://www.port389.org/wiki/Howto:ChainOnUpdate

Both consumers are read-only. I'd thought 'consumer' was synonymous with 'read-only replica'. No?

Ok.

So, I'll need to work out the chainOnUpdate to get things to work like I want. Can I arrange so that my 2 ro replicas will only chain updates of Account Policy attributes?

No.

I.e. so that they are ro except w.r.t. Account Policy Attributes?

They are read only already, correct? Right now, if a client tries to write to a consumer, the client will be sent back an LDAP referral to the master. With chain on update, the consumer will "pass through" the operation to the master. Either way, the consumer is read-only with respect to clients, and only allows updates from the master.

Lastly, there's something about this section: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/... that I don't understand. It says that you only have to turn on the passwordIsGlobalPolicy on the 'consumers'. So, I locked an account via my rw supplier (aka 'master'). However, the account lockout policy attrs did not get replicated to my 2 ro consumers. But when I turned on the passwordIsGlobalPolicy on my rw supplier, locked another account via the rw supplier, the attrs were replicated to my 2 ro consumers. So, am I misunderstanding what a 'consumer' is, or is the documentation wrong?

Could be that the docs are wrong.

Thanks,

Jon

The config:

I ran this on the supplier and both consumers: ldapmodify -h localhost -cax -D "cn=directory manager" -y ~/pword <<BYE dn: cn=config changetype: modify add: passwordLockout passwordLockout: on

add: passwordUnlock passwordUnlock: on

add: passwordMaxFailure passwordMaxFailure: 20

add: passwordLockoutDuration passwordLockoutDuration: 3600

add: passwordResetFailureCount passwordResetFailureCount: 600

BYE

And this on each of the 2 consumers:

ldapmodify -h localhost -D cn="Directory Manager" -y ~/pword <<BYE dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: passwordIsGlobalPolicy passwordIsGlobalPolicy: on BYE
