We are using Oracle DSEE. I need to display the value of the pwd-max-history-count server property in the UI of our application. Is there a way to do this using the UnboundId SDK?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is more a question about Oracle DSEE than the LDAP SDK, so you'll probably want to check with Oracle support for the definitive answer. There is no standard for LDAP clients to access information about the server configuration, especially for configuration elements like this which might not be the same for all users in the server.
The default DSEE password policy data should be stored in the configuration, which is accessible over LDAP with a base DN of "cn=config" (assuming that the authenticated user has permission to see that content). However, the server also allows you to assign alternate password policies to users, so the global policy might not apply to all users.
You should check with the DSEE documentation and/or Oracle support for the specifics of how to determine which password policy applies to a user and how to extract the information you're trying to get.

Thanks Neil, that's a great help.
For anyone else that's interested, you can use cn=Password Policy,cn=config as the base dn.
