Hi Mark, thanks for the response.

We already use password lockout plugin, but what I need is the opposite.

I want to
* Create an account, activate it
* Set an expiration date, so that after that date account is locked.

Cheers
Cenk

Actually, I was wrong there is more you need to do.

You need to enable account lockout and set a max failure count:

# dsconf slapd-INSTANCE config set passwordLockout=on passwordMaxFailure=3

Then set in each user entry:

     passwordRetryCount: 3  --> number equal to passwordMaxFailure

     retryCountResetTime: 20230929193912Z   --> you must calculate this
value (and use it for these two attributes)

     accountUnlockTime: 20230929193912Z


That works for me.

HTH,

Mark
