Harry,<div><br></div><div>This is the pattern I use to parse the date in java: "yyyyMMddHHmmss'Z'". You can probably deduce what the values represent by looking at the pattern. Also the times are stored in UTC so you'll probably want to convert that to the local timezone if you're going to display the date/time to the user. </div>

<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I can get the passwordexpirationtime
value, but I'm unsure what you mean by "set the password expiration
to occur immediately". I'm coming from the Windows world, so
I'm used to the "User must change password at next logon" checkbox.
I don't see that anywhere on the GUI, so I'm unclear how you set
that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Also, how do I manipulate the dates?
I get something similar to 20110122161029Z (for example) for passwordexpirationtime.
How do I convert that to a proper date format? Also, I just
changed my account's password while testing, and I see that passwordexpirationtime
got reset to 19700101000000Z. What does the 1970xxx value represent?</font>

<br><font size="3">Most LDAP servers use a different schema than the Microsoft
version and work from the opposite direction. Try querying "passwordexpirationtime".
You can do a search for the specific password schema with the following
info: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.12 passwordObject<br>
<br>
I think it is more common to:<br>
1. administratively set the password on a user account<br>
2. set the password expiration to occur immediately.<br>
3. set the passwordGraceUserTime for a time period that allows the user
to log in solely to change their password.<br>
<br>
However, you must explicitly program your site to gracefully handle this
situation (condition where passwordexpirationtime < now < passwordGraceUserTime)
, since the user's LDAP authentication attempt against the directory will
fail (with an error indicating the password has expired).<br>

I am in the process of creating a web-based mechanism to allow our users
to change their password on our new 389-ds server. I would like to
display the date that their password is due to expire, and while Googling
around, I see a lot of references to pwdLastSet, but about 95% of the articles
are referring to Active Directory. I don't see pwdLastSet amongst
the attributes in my default 389-ds setup. Is it there, or do I have
to add that attribute to every account?</font><font size="3"> <br>
</font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>
Also, I currently have my pages set up where, when the user logs in, it
detects our 'default' password and forces them to change it. Is there
some attribute in their account that I can set that I can key off of and
force them to change their password when they login to my site?</font><font size="3">
