I was wondering if there was a way to automatically disable an account that hasn’t been logged into for a period of time? We use OpenLDAP to give entitlements for our email system and we would love a way to automatically shutdown accounts that haven’t been authenticated to in X days. Thanks for any help with this.
Depending on the number of entries in question and the time to live of this objects you may want to have a look at slapo-dds(5). You could probably create a dynamic object as soon as a user logs in, and allow a given ttl or some similar strategy,
This would __delete__ the account; furthermore, you'd need to setup something to "touch" the TTL any time the account is used. I think something dedicated should rather been implemented, which logs the time of a login and, periodically, checks if any account needs to be disabled (e.g. inhibit logging, not remove the entry). It shouldn't be too difficult.
