LDAP password expiration notifier

Mail notifier for LDAP password expiration.

About

The script is designed to be run once a day and sends an email notification to LDAP users whose password is expiring soon.

Prerequisites

• a LDAP server with configured password expiration policy
• a working local mail relay server (e.g. postfix)
• python3 (version > 3.6)
• python3-pip

Installing

First clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/meroupatate/ldap-password-expiration-notifier.git

Install the python dependencies:

cd ldap-password-expiration-notifier
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Edit config.py to connect to your LDAP server:

mv config.py.example config.py
vim config.py

Test if the script is running correctly:

python3 notifier.py

Finally, set a cron job to launch the script daily:

echo '0 0 * * * root /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/notifier.py' >> /etc/cron.d/ldap-password-expiration-notifier
