Hi,
In the bank application case, I am not talking about the
bank users having to change the password, I was meaning the bank clients having
to change their PIN to access the online system... you did not required from
your online clients to change their PIN every X days???
Thanks

I've worked for several banks and have never, ever
not seen required password changes. In fact the
reverse problem often occurs. Bank systems do not use the same
authentication model (mainframe, domain, application specific) and require
password changes on different cycles. Personnel often have the proverbial
post-it pad in their desk drawer with written account names and
passwords.
I'm not a SharePoint expert and so will leave others
to comment but I'd be very surprised if a non-domain LDAP can be used....
(guess that could be construed as a comment, but it's really
just reasoned speculation).

HI,
I have
a SharePoint site for a client, it is driving me crazy because the sales
people are telling me that the users for this site, cant have their password
expiring. The client is a government agency, so I don't want to be
responsible for any information being stolen.
How
big of a security risk is not having password expiring? it seems to me
like security 101, but the sales guy is saying that banks don't ask you to
change your password every X day, good point.
Something I was thinking is having SharePoint authenticating with their
LDAP server, is this possible to do? can anybody point to a url on how to do
this?
thanks
