eleroux,

one what is to setup an ldif file with the username and password and then use the NW utilities to import that file into the directory. How many users? What version of NW, NDS?

If a user password is set in an LDIF transaction, then other password attributes should be set in a separate transaction. See the example below -

version: 1

dn: cn=testuser,ou=test,o=novell
changetype: add
uid: testuser
Language: ENGLISH
sn: test
userPassword: abcdefg12
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: ndsLoginProperties
objectClass: top
cn: testuser

dn: cn=testuser,ou=test,o=novell
changetype: modify
add: passwordExpirationTime
passwordExpirationTime: 20020720183500Z
-
add: passwordExpirationInterval
passwordExpirationInterval: 9456000
-
add: passwordRequired
passwordRequired: TRUE
-
add: passwordUniqueRequired
passwordUniqueRequired: TRUE
-
add: passwordMinimumLength
passwordMinimumLength: 9
