Table 7-1 Password Policy Attributes (Continued)
Attribute Name Definition

passwordWarning

This attribute indicates the number of seconds before a warning message is
sent to users whose password is about to expire.
Depending on the LDAP client application, users may be prompted to
change their password when the warning is sent. Both Red Hat Directory
Express and the Directory Server Gateway provide this functionality.
By default, the directory sends the warning 86400 seconds (1 day) before
the password is about to expire. However, a password never expires until
the warning message has been set. Therefore, if users don’t bind to the
Directory Server for longer than the passwordMaxAge, they will still get
the warning message in time to change their password.
