RE: Expiring user passwords fails after first expiry



Hi

Thanks for your updates.

Today I reconfigured the system with openLDAP 2.3.37 server. But still
facing the same issue. Password expires the first time but is never
expired again.

Will you please tell me where to look for to debug this issue further,
if nothing sounds suspicious on the first go?

Thanks.
Vikrant

Haven't got a clue. It all works fine here on OpenLDAP 2.3.37 and
OpenSUSE 10.2. Since you've just started testing, you should really be
using the most recent release. 2.3.32 is quite old already.
