Object Name: <ObjectName>
Object Path: PasswordPolicy[<ObjectName>]
Object Description:
Fix Information: Automatic fix currently not available.
What is this error and how can it be corrected ?
Environment
CA SiteMinder all versions
Cause
This error will occur when the directory <Directory name> to which Password Policy <ObjectName> is linked does not have the password data attribute defined
As per
each user directory needs to have a password data attribute defined which is used to track password policy information. If this is missing the password policy will have a problem working, so XPSSweeper is reporting an error
Resolution
One possible way is to delete the Password Policy mentioned and try to recreate it, if it is not being used. Likely it is not because otherwise it would be malfunctioning
It is also important to verify if the User Directory mentioned does have the Password Data attribute defined. To find out if this is so access SiteMinder GUI and navigate to User Directories, then edit the <Directory Name> mentioned in the message and see if a Password Data attribute is defined pointing to a specific attribute in the directory and correct it if wrong.
If none of these works please contact Broadcom Support for help
