Won't let me do it. I get the following error: Cannot save to directory server: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result(21); passwordExpirationTime: value #0 invalid per syntax; Invalid Syntax.

When I modify a user's password, I can log in from another PC via SSH as that user using the changed password, but I'm never told it has to be changed. In the user's entry, when changing the password, also change the attribute passwordExpirationTime to 0. This should trigger the reset password code. Note that the attribute passwordExpirationTime is an operational attribute.

Didn't work. I edited the entry, put in another password, then login using the new password and never get prompted to change it. I saw something online here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html/Administration_Guide/User_Account_Management.html#Managing_the_Password_Policy-Setting_User_Passwords . Section 13.1.1.5 says something about a bug in Directory Server. Are you using per-user/per-subtree (i.e. Fine-Grained) password policy? If not, then that section does not apply. Can you post all of your password policy configuration? Is that something that I should follow or is that doc outdated?

However, I cannot find where the Directory Manager can actually RESET a user's password. The docs are very vague in this area IMO, so I'm sure I overlooked it. Not sure, but you may be able to login as directory manager, edit the user's entry, and change the password to some bogus value. Where do I go in the console to reset a particular user's password so they will be prompted to change it when they log in again?
