UserReminder is a plugin which, associated with the perl script argonaut-user-reminder allows to send emails to soon-to-expire users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was first used with shadowExpire attribute to set an expiration date on users and send them an email which allows to postpone this expiration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then it was adapted to be used with ppolicy: In this case, there is to postpone link in the email but an explanation/link how to change the password. With ppolicy the password expires after some time and the only way to avoid this is to change it. This feature makes sure user are reminded to change it before expiration happens.

In both cases once expiration happened it’s too late and nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
The email is sent before expiration, with an alert delay which can be configured.

### problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may be some kind of conflict when people are using both shadowExpire, ppolicy and user-reminder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##solution
|
|
|
|
In this case we may want to have an option to trigger user-reminder only on shadow expire or on ppolicy, or to send a different email depending on which expiration it happening. |
