<h2 id="how-it-works">How it works</h2>
<p>iRedMail configures Roundcube webmail to store last password change date while
user changed password. For MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL backends, it's stored in
SQL database <code>vmail</code>, column <code>mailbox.passwordlastchange</code>. For LDAP backends,
it's stored in LDAP attribute <code>shadowLastChange</code> of user account. If user
didn't change password before, or user account is newly created, the password
last change date will be set to <code>0000-00-00 00:00:00</code>.</p>
<p>iRedAPD has plugin to force mail users to change password before sending email:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>sql_force_change_password</code>: for SQL backends (MySQL, MariaDB and
PostgreSQL).</li>
<li><code>ldap_force_change_password</code>: for LDAP backends (OpenLDAP and OpenBSD
built-in LDAP server <code>ldapd(8)</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p>When user trying to send an email, iRedAPD will invoke this plugin to
check password last change date stored in SQL/LDAP and compare
it with current date. if password last change date is longer than specified
days, this plugin rejects smtp session with specified message.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-enable-iredapd-plugin">How to enable iRedAPD plugin</h2>
<p>To enable this plugin, please list the plugin name in iRedAPD config file
<code>/opt/iredapd/settings.py</code>, variable <code>plugins =</code>. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python"># For SQL backends
plugins = [..., 'sql_force_change_password']
# For LDAP backends:
plugins = [..., 'ldap_force_change_password']
</code></pre>
<p>There're three optional settings pre-defined in <code>/opt/iredapd/libs/default_settings.py</code>,
if you want to change them, please copy the parameter names and set proper values
in <code>/opt/iredapd/settings.py</code>:</p>
<pre><code># Force to change password in certain days.
CHANGE_PASSWORD_DAYS = 90
# Reject reason.
# It's recommended to add URL of the web applications which user can login
# to change password in this message. e.g. Roundcube webmail, iRedAdmin-Pro.
CHANGE_PASSWORD_MESSAGE = 'Password expired or never changed, please change your password in webmail before sending email'
# Allow certain users or domains to never change password.
# sample values: ['user@example.com', 'domain.com']
CHANGE_PASSWORD_NEVER_EXPIRE_USERS = []
</code></pre>
<p>Restarting <code>iredapd</code> service is required after changed <code>/opt/iredapd/settings.py</code>.</p>
<h2 id="roundcube-plugin-force_password_change">Roundcube plugin: <code>force_password_change</code></h2>
<p>There's a third-party Roundcube plugin can force user to change password.
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/wainlake/force_password_change">https://bitbucket.org/wainlake/force_password_change</a></p>
<p>Roundcube will <strong>ALWAYS</strong> redirect user to <code>Password</code> page (offered by official
Roundcube plugin password) until user changed the password.</p><div class="footer">
