Most LDAP servers use a different schema than the Microsoft version and work from the opposite direction. Try querying "passwordexpirationtime". You can do a search for the specific password schema with the following info: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.12 passwordObject I think it is more common to: 1. administratively set the password on a user account 2. set the password expiration to occur immediately. 3. set the passwordGraceUserTime for a time period that allows the user to log in solely to change their password. However, you must explicitly program your site to gracefully handle this situation (condition where passwordexpirationtime < now < passwordGraceUserTime) , since the user's LDAP authentication attempt against the directory will fail (with an error indicating the password has expired).
