Allowing users to change their password

[Kenneth Holter]

Hi all.


I'd like my users to be able to change their password (stored in the
directory server) by issuing "passwd" or something like that. Can this be
done? According to the documentation it seems like one has to use the
"ldappassrd" command, which seem pretty tricky to regular users.

I'm running Red Hat Directory Server 8.0.0.


Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth.

It must be done by pam_ldap.so module.

If the system is authenticating to Directory Server, the user once
logged in can change password using "passwd" command.

You can refer to below documentation as to how to configure system to
authenticate using RHDS
