Can anyone help me in identifying a list of password-related attributes NAC
uses/checks against to permit logins, specifically when using an LDAP
authentication source (non-Microsoft/AD).

My question arises from the fact that our LDAP authentication source,
supporting several resources requiring authentication (NAC, e-mail, etc.),
was migrated to Sun's Java System Directory Server 6.x from a very old
Netscape 4.x infrastructure. Password security features were not initially
activated on the migrated environment, as they had been on the earlier
authentication source but the LDAP passwordexpirationtime attribute came
across populated from some of our users. These did not affect e-mail
authentication, even when the passwordexpirationtime had expired, but did
appear to affect LDAP queries for authentication from NAC. Pushing these
"expired" passwordexpirationtime attributes into the future resolved our NAC
authentication failures. The full array of password protection features will
likely be activated for other resources "feeding off" of the LDAP server in
the near future, so trying to identify what attributes NAC is "interested"
in for authentication purposes. 

Anyway, if someone could point me at useful URL or doc for this type of NAC
information, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
