Is this happening on the LDAP server or a LDAP client? The insufficient
access sounds like a LDAP configuration problem to me. Make sure users
are allowed to change their passwords. This can be set in your
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. Here's what I have:
access to dn=".*,ou=People,o=v12,o=UMDNJ,c=US"
attr=userPassword
by self write
by dn="uid=root,ou=People,o=v12,o=UMDNJ,c=US" write
by * auth
This allows root to change everyones password, and allows everyone to
change their own password. Make sure to change your dn.
