symptom

Newly created users do not synchronize from eDirectory to Active Directory

fact

Nsure Identity Manager 2.0

Novell Active Directory Driver

Microsoft Windows 2000

symptom

LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM

change

New users are created without passwords in eDirectory. The Active Directory policy requires password complexity. userAccountControl is set to 0 via a policy.

cause

When the domain password policies are not met the account  will be created as an disabled account, trying to force the account to be enabled during the create, breaks the the security policy of Active directory. The account is therefore not created.

 <server-err-ex win32-rc="1325"/>
</ldap-err>

fix

The account controle should not be altered during the creation of the account.

To resolve this issue either create the account with a valid password. To meet the default password filter complexity the password must meet the the following criteria:

The default password filter (passfilt.dll) included with Windows 2000 requires that a password:

  • Does not contain all or part of the user's account name
  • Is at least six characters in length
  • Contains characters from three of the following four categories:
    • English upper case characters (A..Z)
    • English lower case characters (a..z)
    • Base 10 digits (0..9)
    • Nonalphanumeric (For example, !,$#,%)

Complexity requirements are enforced upon password change or creation.

A second option is to disable the feature in Active Directory. The policy is set at : Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy
