Re: pwdMustChange and pwdExpireWarning



Hello Buchan
 
I set pwdReset manually and it worked.  Thank you.
 
For my issue regarding pwdExpireWarning not displaying warning message when I ssh into my systems, I still can't figure out what I did wrong.  Here is my default policy:
 
dn: cn=default,ou=Policies,dc=example,dc=company
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: default
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdCheckQuality: 2
pwdExpireWarning: 1209600
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdInHistory: 24
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 0
pwdMaxAge: 5184000
pwdMaxFailure: 3
pwdMinLength: 12
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE
pwdMaxAge works perfectly and so does every other attribute, except pwdExpireWarning.  pwdExpireWarning is the only one I am having issues now.  Not sure what I did wrong.  Do you need to know any other details?  Thank you very much for taking your time to help me.
 
Regards
Wei

No.

You currently have to set pwdReset manually. I don't see any documentation
that indicates that pwdReset should automatically be set when the password is
changed in a specific way.

Misconfigured PAM stack probably (authorization, IOW account lines). There have
been previous solutions in previous threads on this topic, and without any
details of your system it isn't possible to assist further.
