That state I'd call "inactive" or similar. But that's cosmetic.

In my systems there's always exactly one status "active" for which I allow
"auth" on "userPassword".

E.g. in Æ-DIR the attribute 'aeStatus' can have this Integer values:

-1: requested
 0: active
 1: deactivated
 2: archived

I suspect you're overloading the semantics of 'employeeType' by putting two
meaning into one attribute.

Ciao, Michael.
