This lets the KDC count password failures and can lock out accounts for a period of time. This only works for KDC >= 1.8. There currently is no way to unlock a locked account across a replica. MIT Kerberos 1.9 is adding support for doing so. Once that is available unlock will be added. The concept of a "global" password policy has changed. When we were managing the policy using the IPA password plugin it was smart enough to search up the tree looking for a policy. The KDC is not so smart and relies on the krbpwdpolicyreference to find the policy. For this reason every user entry requires this attribute. I've created a new global_policy entry to store the default password policy. All users point at this now. The group policy works the same and can override this setting. As a result the special "GLOBAL" name has been replaced with global_policy. This policy works like any other and is the default if a name is not provided on the command-line. ticket 51
Ground rules on adding new schema Brand new schema, particularly when written specifically for IPA, should be added in share/*.ldif. Any new files need to be explicitly loaded in ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py. These simply get copied directly into the new instance schema directory. Existing schema (e.g. in an LDAP draft) may either be added as a separate ldif in share or as an update in the updates directory. The advantage of adding the schema as an update is if 389-ds ever adds the schema then the installation won't fail due to existing schema failing to load during bootstrap. If the new schema requires a new container then this should be added to install/bootstrap-template.ldif.
