!!! Overview
This is a [How To] on using the [PasswordPolicyRequest] [SupportedControl].[1]
The Password Policy Control allows a client to request information about the current password policy information for a user entry.
You can specify the Password Policy Control with some implementations of [LDAPSEARCH] in a number of ways:
* OID. Use the --control or -J option with the Password Policy Control [OID]: [1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1] with no value.
* Named constant. Use the named constants, pwpolicy or passwordpolicy with the --control or -J option instead of the Password Policy Control OID. For example, use -J pwpolicy or -J passwordpolicy with ldapsearch.
* Option. Use the --usePasswordPolicyControl option.
Note - The -J or --control option is used to specify which controls to use in a search request. The --usePasswordPolicyControl option is used for bind requests.
!! [Example] Using [LDAPSEARCH] and [PasswordPolicyRequest]
You will need to use a [LDAPSEARCH] that supports using controls. We use the [OpenDJ] implementation (even when not using [OpenDJ]). The example was from the documentation for [OpenDS] which is where [OpenDJ] was forked from.
Run the ldapsearch command with the --usePasswordPolicyControl option.
{{{
$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -b dc=example,dc=com -s base --usePasswordPolicyControl "(objectclass=*)"
}}}
