Environment

Release:
Component: LDAPDV

Resolution

"userPassword-Expire" is a non updatable field. It contains the date of password expiration and it can be modified by administrator thru the change of password expiration interval or adding a new password and expire it at first logon.

To expire a new password when creating an acid use attribute :

"ExpireNow: Y"

"userPassword-Expire" must not be coded.

Here it an example of ldapmodify command and its ldif file to create a new acid with an expired password:

ldapmodify -c -h YourHostName -p 389 -D cn=Admin -w password -x -f Your.ldif

YourHostName is your TCPIP name of your Host.
389 is the default port, use yours.
Admin is the administrator acid.
Your.ldif is your ldif file which contains what follows between the Top and End boundaries.
