Enable reversible encryption for a specific user.


Recommended Posts

The default domain policy's password policy has "enable reversible encrypted

password" disabled and since there can be only one account policy per domain,

this one takes precedence right?

 

I found this though "To enable reversibly encrypted passwords for a specific

user you can modify their User Properties -> Account options -> enable Store

Password using Reversible Encryption. You must then reset their password."

Does this work? I thought that the defaul domain policy's password policy

always takes precedence and will win if there's a conflict with another

setting such as this.

 

Thanks.

Yes, you can enable this on a per-user basis as you describe.

 

What requires you to do this? Just curious...

Thanks. Some legacy application needs it...

Since kerberos settings ex) Maximum lifetime for service ticket, Maximum

lifetime for user ticket renewal, and Maximum tolerance for computer clock

synchronization are part of the account policy, there can only be one

kerberos settings per domain right (usually set at the default domain policy)?

The reversible encryption setting has nothing to do with Kerberos. You can

keep your domain policy at the default and enable per-user reversible

encryption on individual accounts.

I was asking whether kerberos settings were per domain based (one policy per

domain) as well...

Ah. Yes, Kerberos policies are per-domain only.
