Hi,
In the bank application case, I am not talking about the bank users
having to change the password, I was meaning the bank clients having to
change their PIN to access the online system you did not required
from your online clients to change their PIN every X days?
Thanks

I've worked for several banks and have never, ever not seen required
password changes. In fact the reverse problem often occurs. Bank
systems do not use the same authentication model (mainframe, domain,
application specific) and require password changes on different cycles.
Personnel often have the proverbial post-it pad in their desk drawer
with written account names and passwords.
I'm not a SharePoint expert and so will leave others to comment but I'd
be very surprised if a non-domain LDAP can be used (guess that
could be construed as a comment, but it's really just reasoned
speculation).

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
