[Fedora-directory-users] account expiration

[Mikael Kermorgant]

Hello,

I'd like to set up an expiration policy on my server but I've not
found any way of doing it in the docs.
I'd like to define for each user an expiration date.

Has someone on this list set up something similar ? If so, what
attribute have you used ?

Thanks in advance,

There is no account expiration, only password expiration.
 I suppose you 
could use password expiration with no user password change - that would 
effectively lock out the user when their password expires.

One of our long time community members has written a design doc for 
advanced account policy -

I use cron and a special user with a restrictive ACI to lock old 
accounts.  Not pretty, but hey...

I thought about this solution but how do you check the expiration date ?
As I want to put a specific life length for each user, I have to store
an expiration date somewhere. Is there an existing atribute I could
use for this ?
