Hi Stef,

you could use a script placed in /etg/gdm/PostLogin to trigger the 
automatic logout. Use the custom-folder to place it there. Consult the 
manual on how to do this.

On the password-website you should use some script (PHP/Perl) to write the 
new password (hashed) in the user backend of OTC. This is a Aache DS - you 
should be able to treat it as a normal LDAP. You also can bind OTC to an 
"normal OpenLDAP" as user/shadow backend and have your modifications there.

But the question is "How does the backend know that the session has timed 
out? How to ensure that the password is set to an unvalid value until the 
user orders a new one on the website?"
May you consider a client side action triggerd in /etc/gdm/... - but if the 
client is cut of the hard way (powerplugg), this action will never run.

Not that easy, but should be possible.

Kind regards,

Jörn
