PWM issue changing password 4037 PASSWORD_UNKNOWN_VALIDATION

[sids]

Hi,

I am new to PWM and just started looking into the code.
I configured the PWM on my local system with Tomcat6.0 and Novell
eDirectory 8.8 and PWM 1.5.5.
I extended the schema according to the documentation.

The login and Account Information pages are working fine and I am able
to see the user info coming from novell edirectory on the Account
Information page.

The issue I am getting is when I use the change password I am ending
up getting the following error
"New password does not meet requirements. Please try using a different
password. { 4037 PASSWORD_UNKNOWN_VALIDATION }"

When I tried to click on the
Admin
PWM administrative functions

I am getting the following issue

"PWM 5027
You do not have permission to perform the requested action. { 5027
ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED }
"

Please do let me know if I am missing out something in configuring the
PWM.
Any inputs on these issues would be great help for me to get started
working on the PWM.

Regards,
Sids

Please set your log level to trace, and post a log from PWM startup until you see the error.

Check Configuration for the "PWM Admin Query String". This setting determines which users have access to the PWM admin functions. E.g.:

(groupMembership=cn=pwmadmins,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)

In this case there is a group "pwmadmins", and the user must be a member (i.e. have the attribute groupMembership set) of this group.

Another option would be:

(|(cn=YourUserID)(cn=YourColleagesUserID))

This would allow you and your colleague.

Hope this helps! By the way, there are more such settings like the proxy user and a user/group that has/have permissions to create guest users.
