Yeah, I figured as much, but thought I'd ask. I have a script that runs nightly to notify users of impending expirations, and it works well. Unfortunately, they usually get ignored, which is why I thought if the "you password is due to expire in X days" hits them whereever and however they connect, that would help.
No big deal. Thanks for the help!

I have no idea how, or even if, WS_FTP, Filezilla or pGina support that, but I suspect they don’t. In my environment I’ve written scripts that will send emails when a password is close to expiration, since the clients many of our users connect with will never do it. From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [389-users] Question about expired/expiring passwords In our environment, we have users that authenticate to our LDAP server in a few ways: 1) they log into the server directly using SSH via PuTTY; 2) they log in to our server using FileZilla or WS_FTP using SFTP; 3) they authenticate their account via the LDAP on a Windows server using pGina In method 1, they are prompted to change their password if it is expired, or are given the warning about the password will expire in X days. How do I have the user get a similar warning/message when connecting via methods 2 and 3? We have a lot of users who get themselves flustered because they think they have the right password, but because they're never warned or given a message, they think its wrong, put in a few more passwords, and eventually lock their account out. Any ideas?
