ldappasswd not changing old userPassword entry

["Florian Stahl" <fstahl@xantury.com>]

Hi all,

ldappasswd -h hostname -x -v -D "cn=manager,dc=checkerei,dc=net" -W -S
"cn=florian,ou=people,dc=checkerei,dc=net"

works fine and I get a SSHA encrypted userPassword attribute for the above
cn

but when I try to change the old password to a new one with

ldappasswd -h hostname -x -v -D "cn=manager,dc=checkerei,dc=net" -W -A -S
"cn=florian,ou=people,dc=checkerei,dc=net"

or

ldappasswd -h hostname -x -v -D
"cn=florian,ou=people,dc=checkerei,dc=net" -W -A -S
"cn=florian,ou=people,dc=checkerei,dc=net"

after entering the old passwd and new passwd twice plus the bind passwd for
cn=manager
I get an ignorant "DSA is unwilling to perform - use bind to verify old
password"

I am pretty new to OpenLDAP, so I might be doing complete bogus.

any hints would be highly appreciated


kind regardes
