Hello,

I was wondering how to implement Active directory password policy well. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, LPPE relies on three values it thinks can be found in user record but :
    - password last modification time attribute is pwdLastSet, found in user 
record, ok,
    - expiration warning days, I've no idea where this attribute can be found !
- password maximum age is maxPwdAge AD attribute found in domain record, not it user record !

attributes can be found in either user record or domain record, and even worse with AD 2008 if fine grained password policy is used, one have to lookup a special computed attribute (msDS-ResultantPSO) then search this value in a special container (CN=Password Settings Container,CN=System,dc=mydomain,dc=com) which contains all policies (except default domain policy).

So LPPE can give me erroneous information, and my question is : what should I do to achieve a good implementation of these policies ? Only a new implementation of PasswordPolicyEnforcer ?

Rgds.
