Re: How to ldapsearch password expiration data?

[Richard Megginson <rmeggins@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Those attributes are operational, so you must explicitly ask for them on 
the ldapsearch command line e.g.
ldapsearch -b 
'cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,uid=ilyush,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu' 
passwordMaxAge passwordWarning passwordMinAge passwordExp passwordGraceLimit

In addition, ldapsubentry objects are hidden from normal searches.  You 
must explicitly request objects of this type by adding the 
(objectclass=ldapsubentry) to your search filter e.g.
'(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry))'
to get all regular entries and sub entries, or just
'(objectclass=ldapsubentry)'
to get only the sub entry objects.
