How can I detect these three events ?

I'm not sure.  You may want to ask on a Novell list to find out what is
supported by their API.  But in general, these events are returned to
all LDAPv3 clients in the form of controls, so as long as the Novell API
allows you to receive and parse the response controls, you should be
able to get all of that information.

Thank you for your answer. Is there a description somewhere of which
controls are used by the Directory Server ?

Yes.  Fedora DS allows a configurable number of "grace logins" - the
user is only allowed to BIND, then change their password.

Thank you again
The internet draft has unfortunately expired (again), but there is a recent copy of it here - http://www.dfn-pca.de/bibliothek/standards/ietf/none/internet-drafts/draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-07.txt

You have to specify the control with the request so that the server will know the client is aware of the response control.

See section 5 and later for details about the control OID to send, what is available in the response, and the behavior for different operations.
