ooops, forget about the Sharepoint using the clients LDAP, they will
never let us access their users database, duh!
So, now i need to fight with the project managers and giving them reason
why their password should changemy first question is still valid.
How big of a security risk is not having password expiring? and if it is
important how is that banks dont ask clients to change password.
Thanks

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
