[Freeipa-users] Do expired passwords remain usable indefinitely?

Question: when a password expires, does it remain in a usable state in 
the database indefinitely? For example, if someone comes along a year 
after their password has expired, can they still login once with that 
password?

This is actually what I want, but I just want to confirm there's not 
some sort of secondary threshold which means that an expired password is 
not usable X days after it has expired.  Or, if there is such a 
secondary threshold, where I can find it.

The scenario is a RADIUS server for wifi which reads NTLM password 
hashes out of the database to authenticate - this continues to work 
after expiry. However I want users to be able to do a self-reset later 
if and when they want to.

Thanks,

Brian.
