Hello, We have made something like that:
Users are below ou=People,o=************; if we do not want to have certain users to be able to log on, then we move them to ou=paused_accounts,ou=People,o=***********: that way, normal authentication will fail since the user will be looked up below ou=People,o=*************. Afterwards, we just move the user accounts back into ou=People,o=************** and everything is ok.

Inotherwords when a user logs on and he is being asked to enter his uid andpassword and then it is checked with the entry stored in the database which returns either True/ False resulting into ansuccessful/unsuccessful authentication. Is it possible tomake it a unsuccessful authentication manually for a specific userwithout hampering the user's password-this i need in order to disablethe user from the openldap server for some interval of time. (This I want to do, in order to suspend the user to log on for some time, temporarily.) Please throw some pointers in this direction !!!!
