ooops, forget about the Sharepoint using the clients LDAP, they will never let us access their users database, duh!
 
So, now i need to fight with the project managers and giving them reason why their password should change...my first question is still valid.
 
How big of a security risk is not having password expiring? and if it is important how is that banks dont ask clients to change password.
 
Thanks

HI,
 
I have a SharePoint site for a client, it is driving me crazy because the sales people are telling me that the users for this site, cant have their password expiring. The client is a government agency, so I don't want to be responsible for any information being stolen.
 
How big of a security risk is not having password expiring? it seems  to me like security 101, but the sales guy is saying that banks don't ask you to change your password every X day, good point.
 
 
Something I was thinking is having SharePoint authenticating with their LDAP server, is this possible to do? can anybody point to a url on how to do this?
 
thanks
