| | | <para>OpenDJ generates notifications only when OpenDJ writes to an entry or |

| | | evaluates a user entry for authentication. OpenDJ generates account enabled |

| | | and account disabled notifications when the user account is enabled or |
|---|
| | | disabled with the <command>manage-account</command> command, which writes |
|---|
| | | to the entry. OpenDJ generates password expiration notifications when a |

| | | <para>For example, if you set up OpenDJ to send a notification about password |
|---|
| | | expiration, that notification gets triggered when the user authenticates |
|---|
| | | during the password expiration warning interval. OpenDJ does not |
|---|
| | | automatically scan entries to send password expiry notifications. OpenDJ does |
|---|
| | | implement controls that you can pass in an LDAP search to determine whether a |
|---|
| | | user's password is about to expire. See the appendix on |
|---|
| | | <citetitle>LDAP Controls</citetitle> for a list. You can send notifications |
|---|
| | | then based on the results of your search.</para> |
