Policy for Tracking Last Authentication Time

This section covers the use of the password policy attribute pwdKeepLastAuthTime(5dsat).

When set, pwdKeepLastAuthTime causes Directory Server to track the time of the last successful bind every time that a user authenticates. The time is recorded on the pwdLastAuthTime(5dsat) operational attribute of the user's entry.

Because this behavior adds an update for each successful bind operation, the pwdKeepLastAuthTime feature is not activated by default. You must explicitly turn the feature on to use it in your deployment.
