Re: ppolicy password lockout

[<discip@pjm.com>]

Here are the results after multiple bad attempts to bind to the LDAP
server.  
Additionally, I changed the password for the user before I started, and
I don't see attributes related to that either

user@dir01alt:~> ldapsearch -D "cn=manager,dc=pjm,dc=com" -Wx -b
"dc=pjm,dc=com" "(uid=testuser)" + Enter LDAP Password: 
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=pjm,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (uid=testuser)
# requesting: + 
#

# testuser, People, Test, External, pjm.com
dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,ou=Test,ou=External,dc=pjm,dc=com

When reading the user entry are you requesting the operational
attributes? You need to do that to see things like failure times. Add
'+' to the end of the ldapsearch command and see what you get.
