Hi,

I finally found where the password expiration data are located. If I do 
a database export from the GUI, I can see the entry:

***
dn: 
cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,uid=ilyush,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu
modifyTimestamp: 20051109200121Z
modifiersName: 
uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoo
  t
passwordMaxAge: 864000000
passwordWarning: 0
passwordMinAge: 0
passwordExp: on
passwordGraceLimit: 0
objectClass: ldapsubentry
objectClass: passwordpolicy
objectClass: top
cn: cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,uid=ilyush,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu
creatorsName: 
uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot
createTimestamp: 20051109200121Z
nsUniqueId: 97b5d182-1dd111b2-80f8db9c-cc6f0000
***

However, if I ldapsearch -b
'cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,uid=ilyush,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu'

I'm not getting any subentries:

***
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base 
<cn="cn=nsPwPolicyEntry,uid=ilyush,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu",cn=nsPwPolicyContainer,ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu> 
with scope sub
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 3
result: 0 Success
***

I've tried connecting both as "cn=Manager" and "uid=admin".

Is there a way to access these data programmatically using ldapsearch?

Thanks,
Simon
