[Ascend] Password change

[ryan l robbins]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first message.  Now I'm trying to
tackle another problem.  Here it is:


Some background info:
Presently, users are dialing into a MAX 2024 and getting authenticated
locally.  I have Ascend Access Control v1.0Ai5 installed on a Windows NT
Server box.  I'm currently testing login sessions using user profiles
stored in AAC. 


I'm trying to allow dial-in users to change their own password after it
expires.  I'm testing this using the following user profile:

bsimpson    Password = "*****", Expiration = "Aug 17 2000"
      Ascend-PW-Lifetime = 30,
      Ascend-PW-Warntime = 1,
      Framed-Protocol = PPP,
      Framed-IP-Address = 0.0.0.0,
      Framed-Routing = None,
      Ascend-Assign-IP-Pool = 1,
      Ascend-Idle-Limit = 300

I set the Expiration attribute to the current day so the password will
have expired already.

After this user profile was created, I started the RadiusSrv service
using NT's "Services" tool in the Control Panel.  I also made sure to
enter a <-P> in the Parameters text box when I started RadiusSrv.

The problem is after all of this configuration, AAC doesn't tell me my
password is expired, doesn't prompt me to change my password, and still
accepts my expired password.  Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing
wrong?  I greatly appreciate any response and help.

Thanks in advance,
