to why Citibank don't force you to change your password, and they offer
web based ?

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] SHAREPINT AND EXTERNAL LDAP
I have been involved in externally facing Microsoft sponsored
extranet/Sharepoint sites.
The password gets changed.
We have a GUI web portal and we are forced to change the password.
Sales people set your security policy these days?

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
