Re: Reset Password as Root if User Forgets Password

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not using kerberos.  The other suggestion about using ldappasswd led
to the error:

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
Additional info: TLS: hostname does not match CN in peer certificate

Is there a way to create a JNDI equivalent command so that I could add a
checkbox to a Java GUI that basically toggles the "force password change
after reset" checkbox built into the password policy in 389?
