!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] within [eDirectory].
Most entries are and [SHOULD] be controlled a [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy].
[EDirectory] [Password Expiration] is determined by the value of the [passwordExpirationInterval] on the [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] which applies to the entry.
The conditions that control the "[Password Expired]" mechanism are defined within the [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy]. The important values within the [nspmPasswordPolicy] [Password Policy] are shown below: (showing typical values)
* Number of days before password expires (0-365): 30 Days
* Limit the number of grace logins allowed (0-254): 02 Attempt(s)
In addition to the [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] the [passwordRequired] attribute must be set to: __TRUE__
A [password] is considered [Password Expired] when the [PasswordExpirationTime] has passed and the [LoginGraceRemaining]=0.
However, __ONLY__ once an entry has been assigned to a [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] and then changes the password thereafter will the [EDirectory] server will set (or update) attribute values on the entry:
* [passwordExpirationTime] - forward the number of days specified in Password Policy value for the Days Between Forced Changes field ([passwordExpirationInterval]).
* [passwordExpirationInterval] - to the value of the Password Policy's [passwordExpirationInterval] (This is done for non-[Universal Password] client's backward compatibility)
!! How [{$pagename}] is performed
Then when the user performs a [bind Request] the server reads the entry's value for [passwordExpirationTime] and decides whether the [Password Expired].
There is __NOT__ a "live" calculation on the entry's [pwdChangedTime] / [passwordExpirationInterval]. The live operation only looks at the [LDAP Entry] [passwordExpirationTime].
When using [Universal Password Policies|NspmPasswordPolicy] then the policy will be enforced such that you cannot extend the [passwordExpirationTime] beyond what the policy says is valid. You can, however, set the [passwordExpirationTime] to be earlier than the [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] and the password will expire at the earlier time.
