sorry thats not possible.
If you are using Kerberos then you can do it via the kadmin command.
If not then you have to use one of several other tools like the admin
console or ldapmodify for example.

Hello,
I need to be able to reset a LDAP user's password if they forget it with the
user root. But when I try the "passwd" command as root for a LDAP user, I
get the following:
(as root)
passwd tuser
Changing password for user tuser.
Password reset by root is not supported.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error.
I am using sssd as the LDAP authentication mechanism tool, to be specific.
Does anyone have a solution to dealing with this issue of resetting a LDAP
user's password if they forgot it?
Thanks,
Rohit

Subject: using passwd with 389
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
