Hello All,

I have a perl script that allows for the creation of new accounts in OpenLDAP. I am attempting to find a way to force the newly created user to change his or her password upon first login. I tried setting the attribute pwdMustChange to TRUE but that attribute must not be definable upon user creation. So, how can this be accomplished so that a new user is forced to change passwords after they first log on?

In your perlscript you may include Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword in order to create a random password, and second you should define and create a password policy entry that contains all relevant attribute types. See man slapo-ppolicy(5).
