Re: Fwd: Password Warnings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I did that. I know I have done that in the past.  I see on one account the passwordExpWarned, I don't see passwordExpirationTime. We need to be able to give users warnings that the password will expire in N days.  Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there a setting I haven't set? I set up a policy that is supposed to expire passwords, and warn users.

Don't use attrs="..." Just specify them on the command line - ...
"objectclass=*" passwordExpWarned passwordExpirationTime
If you want all regular attributes plus the additional operational
attributes, use "*" e.g.
ldapsearch .... "objectclass=*" \* passwordExpWarned passwordExpirationTime
ldapsearch --help
...
usage: ldapsearch [options] [filter [attributes...]]
where:
 filter        RFC-2254 compliant LDAP search filter
 attributes    whitespace-separated list of attribute descriptions

Note that openldap has a special attribute called "+" but this is not
supported by Fedora DS.
