Apacheds Unlock Account

Question

I am using Apacheds server for authentication. Account gets locked after some incorrect bind attempts.

I can unlock the account using Apache Directory Studio by just deleting pwdAccountLockedTime but is there a way to unlock account from java code using Apache LDAP API?

You just need to do the same using code. (You should bind as administrator to perform this).

If you do not want this behavior then you could modify the password policies. Set a value in ds-pwdLockoutDuration which is

The delay in seconds we wait before allowing a new attempt when the password has been locked

You can look here: How to unlock user on ApacheDS

And here : https://directory.apache.org/apacheds/advanced-ug/4.3-password-policy.html

Thanks, solved the problem, using above method only. Secondly, at that time, I wanted to unlock manually, and was finding an elegant method. But I think your solution will be helpful if I wanted to unlock automatically after, some period of time. – rishiAgar Jan 11 '17 at 09:53
