We have the following scenario:
We use a "global" password policy at cn=config where a customer of ours defines:
passwordexp: on
passwordmaxage: 7776000
passwordwarning: 7344000
We provide as default configuration "passwordMustChage: on" to force a new user to chage the initial password. In this setup a user whose password expired, i.e. also after this user is created and needs to change its initial password, cannot login to the account, but he can change the password.
The customer now wants a setup which prevents a user whose password expired from changing the password. A plugin "Account Policy Plugin" can therefore be activated by the customer, which uses the following configuration:
dn: cn=config,cn=Account Policy Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
cn: config
alwaysrecordlogin: yes
stateAttrName: non_existent_attribute
altStateAttrName: passwordExpirationTime
specattrname: acctPolicySubentry
limitattrname: accountInactivityLimit
As a consequence, the initial password change does not work anymore, thus the customer must change to "passwordMustChange: off". This would probably be acceptable.
A problem is, however, that a user account which has its own user password policy with "passwordexp: off" and "passwordmustchange: off" is affected by the plugin in such a way that the attribute passwordExpirationTime of the user itself is evaluated and the attribute passwordexp of the user password policy is ignored. That means, a user password policy for special user accounts without password expiration cannot be used in combination with the Account Policy Plugin.
Can the plugin be configured to enable this possiblity or is there another way to achieve the desired behaviour?
