Overview#

An account status notification is a mechanism that can be used to provide indication that a user account has changed in a manner that is significant with regard to the server's Password Policy or Account Expiration policy.

The types of account status notifications available for use in the server include:

• When the user's account has been locked due to too many failed attempts.
• When the user's account has been locked due to remaining idle for too long.
• When the user's account has been unlocked by an administrator.
• When the user's account has been manually disabled or re-enabled by an administrator.
• When the user's Account Expiration.
• When the user's Password Expiration or is about to expire.
• When the user's password has been Password Reset.
• When the user's password has been changed by the end user.

OpenDS provides an extensible framework for handling account status notifications. The default handler will write messages to the server's error log, but the framework can be used to send e-mail messages or take other actions that may be desired.
