True, if it won't exit that wouldn't get into the picture. I guess my point is, skipping all this LDAP policy stuff and tracking it all with simple attributes ends up working much more simply. But if you can't get them to turn it off, that won't work. Having it on is dumb though because now you're making every application enforce all this in code, which is just not going to happen. If you want the password to expire, you expire it, not allow the bind and return some obscure extension.
