Re: is there a script for password expiration notification?

Unfortunately, no such script. You have to write your own one.

I have sample Python code to help you generate the value of shadowLastChange:

import datetime

def get_days_of_shadow_last_change(year=None, month=None, day=None):                                                           
    """Return number of days since 1970-01-01."""                                  
    today = datetime.date.today()                                                  
                                                                                   
    if not year:                                                                   
        year = today.year                                                          
                                                                                   
    if not month:                                                                  
        month = today.month                                                        
                                                                                   
    if not day:                                                                    
        day = today.day                                                            
                                                                                   
    try:                                                                           
        return (datetime.date(year, month, day) - datetime.date(1970, 1, 1)).days
    except:                                                                        
        return 0

Re: is there a script for password expiration notification?

i can set using phpldapadmin but,

how can i set it with a script for every month ?

because when the user change password  the value of the large number resets.

You need to write the script yourself. Or, paid some developer to do this.
