Are you using Kerberos?
If so then the host needs a valid host keytab, a correct krb5.conf file and pam_krb5 configured.
The documentation for doing this with Kerberos is common you should be able to find it easily.

If its strait LDAP with no Kerberos that's a longer more drawn out conversation

Hello,

I want to be able to use the Unix "passwd" command to reset a LDAP user's password from the command line.  However, I keep getting an authentication token manipulation error whenever I try to reset the password using that command.  What do I need to do in the 389 DS or on Unix in order to get this command to work?

Thanks,

Rohit
