Yeah, I figured as much, but thought I'd ask. I have a script that runs nightly to notify users of impending expirations, and it works well. Unfortunately, they usually get ignored, which is why I thought if the "you password is due to expire in X days" hits them whereever and however they connect, that would help.
No big deal. Thanks for the help!

It’s up to the client to support warnings about password expiration (that true in general, not just where LDAP is involved). I have no idea how, or even if, WS_FTP, Filezilla or pGina support that, but I suspect they don’t.
In my environment I’ve written scripts that will send emails when a password is close to expiration, since the clients many of our users connect with will never do it.

Subject: [389-users] Question about expired/expiring passwords
In our environment, we have users that authenticate to our LDAP server in a few ways:
1) they log into the server directly using SSH via PuTTY;
2) they log in to our server using FileZilla or WS_FTP using SFTP;
3) they authenticate their account via the LDAP on a Windows server using pGina
In method 1, they are prompted to change their password if it is expired, or are given the warning about the password will expire in X days. How do I have the user get a similar warning/message when connecting via methods 2 and 3? We have a lot of users who get themselves flustered because they think they have the right password, but because they're never warned or given a message, they think its wrong, put in a few more passwords, and eventually lock their account out.
Any ideas?
