Re: multi-valued nsAccountLock

Hi Mitja,

the value of this attribute is checked against "true" internally in RHDS to decide if an account is locked or not.

Even if the attribute is multi valued by definition, internally it's considered single valued. Only the first value is taken into account.

Using this attribute for other purposes will interfere with password policy and particularly if the value is different than true, the account will be considered as locked.

I would propose to define a custom attribute to define different aspects of account inactivation.

Regards,

German.
