Finding if novell user password expired

[janmarohit]

Is there a way to find if the novel user's password has expired?? Is there an api method of netwin32.dll that will do the trick?

I am writing a program where i want to change the novell user's
password. This i want to do only if the password has expired. The
trouble is to find whether the password has expired or not. I found
something regarding the attribute Password Expiration Time. Is that
the right way to determine the password expiration? Is there any other
way i can find this out?
How can i user NWDSGetAttrVal to get the password expiration value?

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Rohit
