Hi Harry, sorry for long delay. The feature it working quite well for me. For instance, user0 binding three times with wrong password is locked: [root@rh6 ~]# ldapsearch -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w wrong -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) [root@rh6 ~]# ldapsearch -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w wrong -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) [root@rh6 ~]# ldapsearch -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w wrong -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) [root@rh6 ~]# ldapsearch -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w wrong -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 ldap_bind: Constraint violation (19) additional info: Exceed password retry limit. Please try later. I can see in audit logs after the third wrong bind: time: 20150217151208 dn: cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat changetype: modify replace: passwordRetryCount passwordRetryCount: 3 - replace: accountUnlockTime accountUnlockTime: 20150217141508Z If I try to bind with right credentials: ldapsearch -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w user0 -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 ldap_bind: Constraint violation (19) additional info: Exceed password retry limit. Please try later. NOTE: in my case, passwordLockoutDuration: 180 So, more than three minutes later: ldapsearch -xLLL -p 1389 -h localhost -D "cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat" -w user0 -b "o=redhat" cn=user0 [root@rh6 ~]# user0 arrives to bind ok. We can see in audit logs that the password retry count has been reset'd (we check accounts locked only if the retry count is greater than the max failures allowed). time: 20150217151719 dn: cn=user0,ou=people,o=redhat changetype: modify replace: passwordRetryCount passwordRetryCount: 0 - My settings: nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: on passwordChange: off passwordLockout: on passwordUnlock: on passwordLockoutDuration: 180 passwordResetFailureCount: 660 and passwordmaxfailure: 3 Thanks and regards, German. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "harry devine" <harry.devine@xxxxxxx> > To: 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Friday, 13 February, 2015 7:27:10 PM > Subject: Re: Question about accountunlocktime > > passwordunlock is set to On, and passwordunlockduration is set to 1800. > > Thanks, > Harry > > -----Original Message----- > From: 389-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:389-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of German > Parente > Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 11:51 AM > To: General discussion list for the 389 Directory server project. > Subject: Re: Question about accountunlocktime > > Hi Harry, > > could you check the value of attribute type "passwordUnlock" under cn=config > ? > > thanks and regards, > > German. > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "harry devine" <harry.devine@xxxxxxx> > > To: 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 1:31:04 PM > > Subject: Re: Question about accountunlocktime > > > > OK, I get that.
