<<Has slapd.conf been configured to allow users write permission to their passwords?>> Hmmm, well good question! I checked through the file but could not determine what should be enabled for that. Do you know what it would take to do enable user to have write permission to their passwords? Thanks!

AFAIK, that's all that is required beyond normal nss_ldap configuration. When you attempt to change a password with the passwd command nss_ldap will bind to the LDAP server as the user, and attempt to modify the password. If you can run your LDAP without SSL temporarily you can capture the transaction with wireshark and see what's going on. -- Nigel Wade, System Administrator, Space Plasma Physics Group, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK E-mail : nmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx Phone : +44 (0)116 2523548, Fax : +44 (0)116 2523555 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
