Want a solution for a scenario-To Set Password expiration in OID from OIM

Question

Hi,
I have one scenario. Please guide me in some details to achieve this.
I have one password policy in OIM. When user's password expires in OIM, then his password should also expire in OID. We have OID as user's repository.
For this I have one solution but dont know how to implement this in OIM.
"OID has the LDAP attribute called “pwdMaxAge” map this attribute to the OIM resource object and reset this value to number of days (as per password policy) whenever you change the password in OIM. This will set the password expiration time in the OID without having the password policy in place. "
Plesae suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Well here is what you can do:
- For OIM the user's password will be governed with the Xellerate User password policy, which says that password must be changed every 28 days. So you are good in handling this in OIM.
Now for OID side, you have two options - *1. User changes OID password directly* and *2. User changes OID password through update in OIM profile password*. Most probably tou would want the second case. If true then here is what you can do.
- As user changes the OIM password. Create automatic trigger Change User Password which updates the password in the process form of OID.
- This invokes the Password Updated task.
- On SUCCESS of this task, call another task which goes to OID target and updates the attribute pwdMaxAge to Current date + 28
