Thanks, I didn't know those controls correpsonded to those values. That's
kind of what I'm looking for. But, perhaps I misunderstand how pwdReset
works. The way I see it is it's a value which is generally not existent on
the user object, and when you set it it resets whether or not the account
is locked out. And when you set it, you can set it either as TRUE or FALSE,
TRUE meaning the user will be asked to change their password, and FALSE
they won't. So it's not really a toggle value, but more of a function which
accepts a toggle argument. The more general option which determines if a
user must change their password if it's reset is the pwdMustChange
attribute on the pwdPolicy object, and setting the pwdReset to TRUE
overrides pwdMustChange.

>From the Zytrex page: "Add the operational attribute pwdReset with a value
of either TRUE or FALSE. FALSE is only effective if the password has not
expired and has the same effect as deleting pwdAccountLockedTime. "

So I don't think LAM uses the pwdReset attribute correctly as it was
intended. It should probably be more like: have a button to reset the
account, and 2 radio buttons to represent the TRUE and FALSE settings (with
probably more descriptive labels).

Also, it would be nice if there was a way to view the read-only attributes
in the ppolicy tab under the user account

Hi Isaac,

pwdAccountLockedTime can be set with the button "(Un)Lock account". The
attribute pwdReset is controlled via the checkbox "Password change
required".
The other attributes are marked as read-only in the documentation.

Does this help you?


Best regards

Roland
