Hi there,

My previous questions about the possibility of realms handling passwords
expiration was not answered (indeed, today I am pretty sure that that cannot
be done just implementing a custom realm), so I am looking for other
solutions. One of them, is that a custom realm store a field in some place,
telling the application that the password has expired, or is about to
expire. So the question is:

¿How can arbitrary data (and not just the user name), can be passed from a
custom realm, to a web application?.

Thanks very much,

tizo
