OK, but how does Authelia manage it?

We encountered similar issues.
At first we had a simple script for reseting own password. Now have a nice self-service frontend with an open source app called authelia.

Hi!

I have a question related to policy and a user with an expired password and all grace logins consumed, like this:

pwdChangedTime[0]	20231127075102Z
pwdGraceUseTime[0]	20240429142254Z
pwdGraceUseTime[1]	20240430112006Z
pwdGraceUseTime[2]	20240527074731Z
pwdGraceUseTime[3]	20240528114912Z
pwdGraceUseTime[4]	20240528130249Z
pwdFailureTime[0]	20240611082600.348275Z

How can the user change his password? The user cannot log in anymoe, obviously. If the user could log in he would have admin privileges.

I had the idea to delete the grace logins via ldapmodify, but the result (for version 2.4) was:

ldap_modify: Constraint violation (19)

        additional info: pwdGraceUseTime: no user modification allowed

So what are the options (for the user himself and for an admin)?
