[Fedora-directory-users] API to detect password expiration

[François Beretti]

Hi,

I am trying to implement password expiration in my LDAP software. I am
not using the fedora/mozilla/sun API, but the Novell API. So I can't
use specific functions if they exist.

There are three concepts I would like to integrate :

 - Password must be changed after a reset
 - Password expiration warning
 - Password expired

How can I detect these three events ?

Moreover, what can I do within the maximum login attempts ? Only bind
then change the password ?

Thank you very much, and congratulations for this beautiful software

Regards,

François Beretti
