Associating account status notification handlers with password policies

To generate notifications when password policy state changes occur in the server, you must configure the password policy that governs the entry being updated to use one or more account status notification handlers.

About this task

By default, password policies are not configured with such handlers, so no account status notifications are generated.

The account-status-notification-handler property controls the set of account status notification handlers for a password policy. You can be configure that property using dsconfig or the Administrative Console.

Steps

  • To configure the account-status-notification-handler notification handler property, run dsconfig.

    Example:

    $ bin/dsconfig set-password-policy-prop \
      --policy-name "Default Password Policy" \
      --set "account-status-notification-handler:Error Log Handler"

    This command updates the default password policy to trigger the error log account status notification handler for any appropriate password policy state changes.
