[Fedora-directory-users] Password Expiration Warning notification

[Raj Seenivasan]

Is there an option in FDS for password expiration warning message to go out
via email?

We have few applications that use FDS but none reports about the password
expiration.

SSH displays the warning but there are users who don't use ssh.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks much.

We run a script nightly via cron that handles this.

No. Probably the easiest way to do it would be to write a cronjob that 
periodically searches the directory server for about-to-expire passwords 
and sends out email.

There are some operational attributes:
passwordExpirationTime - this is the time at which the password will expire
pwdExpirationWarned - if this is > 0, this means the server has sent a 
warning in the response control to the BIND operation
passwordWarning - the server will begin sending warnings in the response 
control to the BIND operation when the password has this many seconds or 
fewer left until expiration
