msg-admin-account password problem

I am configuring a 2nd mta for our mail system. There is a problem with the ldap authentication when the messaging user attempts an ldap lookup for incoming emails. There is a lookup failure. This is the msg-admin- user. Our other mta has the exact same set up (with its own msg-admin- user ) and works without a problem. Has anyone seen this error before?

Entry from directory server access log when msg-admin-HOSTAME attempts the ldap search.

[05/Jan/2007:10:49:50 -0700] conn=89089 op=4 msgId=5 - need new password

[05/Jan/2007:10:49:50 -0700] conn=89089 op=4 msgId=5 - RESULT err=53 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0

Any advice would be great. Thanks

Darren

Looks like you have password policies and the password for that account has expired. It's probably not affected the other one because it's got established authenticated connections already.

yes we do have password restrictions however I am not overly sure on how they work (new to this). Is there an attribute i can set on this account to overcome this?Thanks for the help.

"password restrictions" does not equal "password expiration". Yes, you can set a far future expiration date, or even "password does not expire" on particualr accounts, in ldap. That's really more a Directory kind of question.
