!!! Overview [{$pagename}] is an [EDirectory] concept for [Password Grace Authentication] that allows a limited number of logins to be performed following the point that [Password Expiration] has been reached. !! [Edirectory Password Policy] and [{$pagename}] The [Edirectory Password Policy], to enable [Password Grace Authentications], you would modify the [Password Policy] under [Password Life Time] that is enabled for the user. %%warning You [MUST] set the [Limit the number of grace logins allowed|LoginGraceLimit] to some value to make the [Number of days before password expires|PasswordExpirationTime] to prevent users from logging in after the password expires. %% !! Limit the number of grace logins allowed (0-254) When the [password] expires, this value indicates how many times a user is allowed to log in to [eDirectory] by using the expired password. * 0 - A value of "0" will not allow any [{$pagename}]. * 1 - If the value is 1 or more, the user has a chance to log in additional times before being forced to change the password. However, if the user does not change the password before all the [{$pagename}] are used, he or she is effectively locked out and is unable to log in to [eDirectory]. ! [{$pagename}] NOT Enabled [eDirectory 9.0.3.0 (40005.12)] and several earlier versions of the documentation appear to have a conflict in this area. The documentation clearly states: * If [{$pagename}] are not enabled (the check box "Limit the number of grace logins allowed" is NOT checked), the user cannot log in after a password has expired, and he or she requires administrator assistance to reset the password. * Also, if you have not selected the Limit [Grace Logins] option, unlimited [Grace Logins] are allowed. So if "unlimited [Grace Logins]" are allowed then how can "the user cannot login after a password has expired" also be true? !! Attributes There are several attributes added to the user entries when you set [{$pagename}] * [PasswordExpirationTime] - the time at which the password is expired. * [LoginGraceLimit] - The number of times a user may login beyond the [PasswordExpirationTime] * [LoginGraceRemaining] - The number of Grave Logins they currently have remaining. Once [LoginGraceRemaining] becomes "0", the user will not be able to login and will receive [Password Expired] as the [LDAP Result Code] !!
