Re: ldappasswd use for admin

Hi Gustavo,
another solution is to use slappasswd to generate a new password and copy this
into the slapd.conf.
There must be a section where the database is defined. In this section there´s
the rootdn and rootpw part. Replace the old rootpw-string with the one you
just generated and you´re done.
It's a bit difficult to understand his question, but I think he was actually
asking how to use the ldappasswd command such that an admin can change the
password of some other user.
And the answer of course is in the ldappasswd(1) manpage.
ldappasswd -D cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com -W -S "cn=some user,dc=domain,dc=com"
And as a side note, my original intention in creating this mailing list was
for discussing deep technical questions, not trivial stuff whose answers are
in the current manpages. Questions like this still belong on the -software list.

Hi there,
Does anybody know which parameters to use in ldappasswd command when admin
user (cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com) has to reset user's password ?
The situation is: LDAP user forgot his/her password and LDAP Admin has to
reset it, allowing his/her to login and then to change his/her password.
Thanks in advance
