Hi everyone,

Hi Clément :D

Yes sorry, some vocabulary mix on my side, we are indeed talking about user 
password expiration, not lockout : no login is possible, but password can/has 
be changed.

That's exactly the script I was referring to :D

Nice ! We send the mail for the user to enter the new password. I don't 
remember if the old password is proposed in this case ? This is why password 
history is needed, as some "interesting people" enter the same password again 
and again... or maybe this is bad and we are doing it wrong ?

Great ! for us this is the only "killer" feature missing versus the 
"interesting people" mentioned above. Anyway we can evaluate/help the code in 
test here ?
