STRANGE.
I'd just decided to 'heck with this' and work out some process that will send emails - removing the 'need' for this feature.
So I modified the policy to 184 days (max value for any 6 months), set the password warning to 1 second less than that, and viola! When I login with my test account it now tells me my password will expire in 183 days.
Is that the trick? Previously, I'd set my expiration to 60 minutes...
ALSO: when I asked my coworker to login to check it out - he wasn't getting the notice.
Investigating further, I notice that his account was setup a long time ago - and things are done differently now.
His account objectclasses: objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: top
Mine (Test account): objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: top
If I attempt to modify his account to remove the objectclass account and add inetOrgPerson, ldap complains: "Mar 29 22:51:36 ldapmaster1 slapd[32653]: entry failed schema check: structural object class modification from 'account' to 'inetOrgPerson' not allowed"
At the same time, my LDAP browser (apache DS) also adds organizationalPerson and person objectclasses to his account - which smbldap-useradd (the tool we've historically used to add accounts) hasn't been doing.
If I simply attempt to add just the inetOrgPerson class, and not remove account - slapd complains slightly differently: "Mar 29 23:05:22 ldapmaster1 slapd[32653]: entry failed schema check: invalid structural object class chain (account/inetOrgPerson)"
I suspect, and would love verification/clarification/clue-by-fours: 1) I'm going to need to change how we add users - suggestions for a 'better' CLI method? 2) I'm probably going to need to scrub these accounts so that they're created correctly - likely through a slapcat - modify output - wipe db (or delete entry) - slapadd (replace slapcat/add with ldapmodify if that's your pref).
Am I about on target?

PS: I haven't seen /anywhere/ what objectclasses are required for certain 'features' to work correctly - why not? If that's a limitation/requirement you'd expect someone to mention it...

Hello,
I've gotten our password policy to function as it should - password expire requiring password changes, can't use old passwords, etc.
I'm working on last little detail - getting the password expiration warning to display.
For example, I see in the logs: "Mar 29 19:27:38 ldapmaster1 slapd[32653]: ppolicy_bind: Setting warning for password expiry for uid=chrisjtest,ou=people,dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net = 3141 seconds"
But I never get the notice on login clients - regardless of client type (even from machine to itself).
I suspect ya'll are going to be interested in ldap.conf and pam config, so here they are, along with some possibly relevant bits:
/etc/ldap.conf: uri ldaps://ldapmaster1.corp.aptimus.net timelimit 10 bind_timelimit 10 bind_policy soft base dc=unix,dc=aptimus,dc=net scope sub ssl on tls_checkpeer no tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacert.pem pam_login_attribute uid pam_lookup_policy yes pam_password exop

# grep -i pam /etc/ssh/sshd_config # Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM keyboard-interactive authentication # PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt no UsePAM yes
Ppolicy directives in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (under the sold database definition): overlay ppolicy ppolicy_hash_cleartext ppolicy_use_lockout
AND just for giggles, I decided to see if I could get the version of pam_ldap.so that's installed, and ran strings on it. I notice two things: 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1 (objectclass=passwordPolicy)
The ppolicy.schema file compiled used IDs 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.1.x - not ..8.5.x - could I possibly have some weird mismatch here?
(I suspect and hope that the last bit here is a totally unrelated red herring.)
Thanks, - chris
