I have searched the archives and although I have seen a lot of the same type problems, I have not seen any solutions that solve my problem. Some details: Mac Xserve running OSX 10.3.9 PHP 4.4.1(openldap) Apache 2.0.54 Squirrelmail 1.4.5 on one server and 1.4.6 on another Change_ldappass 1.9.1 (ldapV3) Compatibility 2.0.4 I do have some problems with the compatibility mod not returning the "compatibility_check_sum_version" , I have just bypassed the if statement in change_ldappass/options.php that is looking for the compatibility_check_sum_version to get the right paths to validate.php and load_prefs.php by replacing the else part of the statement with: if (!isset($config_php)) include_once(SM_PATH . 'include/validate.php'); include_once (SM_PATH . "config/config.php"); if (!isset($strings_php)) include_once (SM_PATH . "functions/strings.php"); if (!isset($page_header)) include_once (SM_PATH . "functions/page_header.php"); if (!isset($imap_php)) include_once (SM_PATH . "functions/imap.php"); include_once (SM_PATH . "include/load_prefs.php"); This works for now to get the change_ldappass input screen to display with out errors ( a quick patch butt I would like to know how to get it to work with out this). When I try to change a password, change_ldappass now errors out with "Your old password is not correct." which is at the point where it is trying to compare the encrypted version of the oldpassword supplied by the input screen with the encrypted stored password from the ldap lookup at lines: default: // Use plain text password $cpass=$cp_oldpass; $lpass=$storedpass; // Override $lpass as it is truncated from the original break; } //now check again the stored password against the encrypted version of the supplied old password if ($lpass != $cpass) { array_push($Messages, _("Your old password is not correct.")); if ($debug) array_push($Messages, _("Stored Password:") . " $lpass " . _("Old Password:") . " $cpass"); return $Messages; } It seems not to be getting the right encryption method for this comparison. If I comment out the "default:" in the statement above, change_ldappass will end with the display of " Password changed successfully" but no new passwords are set in the ldap database, as when I log out and log back into squirrlmail I have to use the old password. There are no other errors in the server logs and the password loges show that change_ldappass is calling for the right encryption to be bound as the user to the ldap database and are being authenticated then disconnecting. The user(s) that I am using have wright privileges for passwords set in there ldap files. If anyone has any ideas about how to get this to work I would be very grateful.
