> Key: DIRSERVER-2343
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2343
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Michael Davis
> Priority: Major
>
> Below is an email conversation I've had with [~elecharny] about an an issue with changing passwords after expiration when using a user other than uid=admin, ou=system.
> We've had to work around this by enabling grace logins, and treating a grace login as an expiration event. This allows the user to change their password after expiration, by consuming a grace login to do so. But it requires specifically coding around the issue, and there is still a possibility, depending on how the user interacts with the system, of having a user locked out such that only uid=admin,ou=system can resolve it.
