I have FDS 1.1.1 running with password policy and syntax checking working for user passwords via the console, but I haven't been able to get ldappasswd (from mozldap-tools package) to pay attention to those password constraints that I know work via the console. That is, ldappasswd succeeds even when given passwords that fail in the console. Is this what I should expect to see?
I've now learnt that FDS will accept a plaintext password in the LDIF from ldapmodify, which is policy checked (I had assumed only a hashed value could be provided - duh) so I can at least move on but I'm still puzzled by ldappasswd since that would be the most obvious choice for scripting password changes. It's possibly only the mozldap-tools version because I see that other implementations provide parameters to send either plaintext passwords or encrypted.
