Are there settings in FreeIPA similar to the setting available from the chage 
command ?  I am specifically looking for a setting for the time after a 
password expires to allow the user to update it.

I am looking for the same "grace period" that the non-IPA shell password has. 
From the change man page:
-M, --maxdays MAX_DAYS
Set the maximum number of days during which a password is valid. When MAX_DAYS 
plus LAST_DAY is less than the current day, the user will be required to change 
his/her password before being able to use his/her account.
-I, --inactive INACTIVE
Set the number of days of inactivity after a password has expired before the 
account is locked. The INACTIVE option is the number of days of inactivity. A 
user whose account is locked must contact the system administrator before being 
able to use the system again.

I find nothing like this in the documentation.
I do know, however, that when a user is initially created, the password expire 
time is set to the current clock time.
When the user logs in for the first time, they are prompted to change their 
password.
I am looking for a parameter -- like chage's INACTIVE -- that defines a grace 
period from the time the password expires until the account is locked and 
requires admin intervention.
Or does that only happen for the account creation ?
