OpenDS issue

HI,
For a client I am using the following configuration:
1-An OpenDS server version 2.2
2-An OpenLDAP client (the Novel libraries)

Both are very easy to use.

There is a need to query the LDAP server for information such as password expiration time, number of failed logins etc. This information is readily available by using a command line interface which is provided by OpenDS : https://docs.opends.org/wiki/Diff.jsp?page=HowToManageUserAccounts&r1=20...

For instance to get the failure time one would invoke:

 

<code>
manage-account get-authentication-failures-times \
--targetDN "uid=kvaughan,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" \
--hostname localhost --port 1389 \
--bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password

many of us often encounter the need to have a user management/authentication services.

if you're lucky, the users data is stored in an LDAP (unfortunately it's usually Active Directory).

if not, don't try to re-implement an LDAP. don't settle for short term vision. managing users/groups/passwords/policies is a major task that tends to grow during projects lifetime and eventually you spend a lot of time writing code that you shouldn't have.

instead, use OpenDS - a fully functional open source LDAP server from Sun.
