passwordExp (Password Expiration)
Indicates whether user passwords will expire after a given number of seconds. By
default, user passwords do not expire. Once password expiration is enabled, you
can set the number of seconds after which the password will expire using the
passwordMaxAge attribute.
For more information on password policies, see chapter 7, “User Account
Management,” in the Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide.
passwordHistory (Password History)
Enables password history. Password history refers to whether users are allowed to
reuse passwords. By default, password history is disabled, and users can reuse
passwords. If you set this attribute to on , the directory stores a given number of old
passwords and prevents users from reusing any of the stored passwords. You set
the number of old passwords the Directory Server stores using the
passwordInHistory attribute.
For more information on password policies, see chapter 7, “User Account
Management,” in the Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide.
