I tried asking this on the developer list and didn't get an answer so im trying the user list now So here is my goal I am about to write a plugin for Heimdal KDC's to update matching password fields in LDAP servers. In the case of 389 server it will also allow 389 server to manage password quality checks. Ive been looking over the 389 servers docs and there is something I'm unclear about. How do I pass the password to 389 server to trigger the quality check and update? Is it simply just a bind as an administrator then update the users password field with clear text password and let 389 server check and hash it from there, or is there more to it like a C API call? If any one can point me to the appropriate doc or even better section of the appropriate doc that would be very helpful. If any one just happens to knows the answer I would appreciate that too. Note: The resulting plugin will be posted on Github with a GPL license when I'm done.
