Hello,
I need to implement directory users' credentials lifetime functionality on my OpenLDAP server (2.3.27). For each user lifetime can be set as "forever" or "number of days between 1 and 365". After lifetime expires user must be terminated (user entry still present in directory, but not able to authenticate).
I have inspected slapo-ppolicy(5) overlay functionality, seems that:
"pwdMaxAge=<lifetime>" + "pwdGraceAuthnLimit=0"
would help, but then I need to setup separate policy for each user with different lifetime (not acceptable).
To be completely accurate, you would create a policy, and apply that policy to individual entries by setting the pwdPolicySubentry attribute of that entry to the DN of the policy.
I would like to ask if slapd(8) offers features (in addition to slapo-ppolicy) to control the lifetime of directory users' credentials? Is there a convenient way to implement such requirement?
Note the ppolicy_default option, documented in the man page, which allows you to have a default password policy for the entire database (which you would override if necessary as above).
