Checking user password status with SAP JCO

Question

I am using Jco 2.1. Is it possible to get the status of the user's password (expired or not) using Jco, or is there any BAPI which can do this task. I get an exception in Jco when the user is locked or does not have any access to the respective function groups, but no exceptions in this case. It allows the user to conenct to SAP even when the password has expried.
In the code, I am using JCo Client connect and disconnect. It connects sucessfully, even when the password has expired in SAP.
Many thanks in advance. Any pointers to this issue is appreciated.
Regards,
Siva

Note [161146|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/161146] says:
As of Release 46C, you can prevent the RFC logon with an expired or initial password by setting the profile parameter rfc/reject_expired_passwd (that is, rfc/reject_expired_passwd = 1).
After you added the profile parameter, you must restart the server.
So this is a general behavior for all RFC connections and not only for new users. That's why I told you to be careful.
And furthermore Harald is right. It should be clear what an initial password is. And when the password is regarded as expired can be configured with the profile parameters described in note [862989|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/862989].
