>From the tests that I have done, when a person logs into Active
Directory through LDAP and their password has expired, the system
returns the error of "Invalid Credentials" and doesn't give any
indication that the password has expired.  I was also told by someone on
a Microsoft newsgroup that LDAP cannot handle the password expiration
situation which has been proven in my tests with .NET.  I suppose it is
possible to check the "Password Last Set" attribute, but if LDAP won't
let the person login even with their good password anymore, what good is
it to check it since I can't validate their password?

 

If Kerberos returns the 'password expired' error I will see if we can
use that.

Subject: Re: CAS and Active Directory Password Expiration

 

I'm not familiar with AD's password expiration settings.  What's
supposed to happen if the password is expired?

Hi,  I have been learning the CAS system for the past couple of weeks
from source code and the wiki and like the way the system is setup.  We
would like to use the system at our college with our Active Directory
system and would also like to implement a way to check if the student's
password has expired.  I have successfully made it work with the Active
Directory, but now I am stuck with getting it to understand the
"password expiration" setting.  I am not sure where to start but I have
been reading the source code documentation to get an understanding of
the system.  

 

Has anyone been able to get this working for their system?  Is so, could
you please point me in the direction I should take to implement it?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

JW
