Hi Noriko,

thanks for the quick response.

Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to 389-ds and I ran into an issue when trying to update a user's password via the command line.

I was able to change a password "as" the user via the command line using the following syntax without issue:

ldappasswd -h my389dsserver.domain.edu -p 389 -ZZ -D "uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu" -w current_user_passwd -s new_user_passwd "uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu"

However, when I tried doing the same thing as the Directory Manager, it changes the password hash, but it doesn't update the password. In fact, after issuing the following command (see below), both the old and new passwords don't work:


ldappasswd -h my389dsserver.domain.edu -p 389 -ZZ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w directorymanager_passwd -s new_user_passwd "uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu"
Do you see any error messages in /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/errors?

No errors reported in /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/errors when I run the ldappasswd command with "cn=Directory Manager".

What does this access log file log for the operation?
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/access

What happens if you run this command line?
$ ldapmodify -h my389dsserver.domain.edu -p 389 -ZZ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w directorymanager_passwd << EOF
dn: uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: new_user_passwd
EOF

Is the user's password is set to new_user_passwd?

No, the password fails to be set, and both passwords, old and new, are now invalid. The output is:

----- keystrokes of issued command ----
# ldapmodify -h my389dsserver.domain.edu -p 389 -ZZ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w directorymanager_passwd << EOF
> dn: uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu
> changetype: modify
> replace: userPassword
> userPassword: 123abc!@garbage
> EOF
modifying entry "uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=edu"
--- end of output ---

I'm puzzled. So, it "acts" like it changes the password by telling me it is "modifying the entry", but it inserts something into the password
because the old password and the new password don't work.

Thanks for your help on this....

I found the following page, http://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/design/password-administrator.html, but being fairly new to 389-ds I wasn't sure how to create/define/add the ability to be a password administrator to an account.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
