Hi All
I am trying to change the password using passwd, please see the below :

[xyz at server ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user xyz.
Enter login(LDAP) password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
*LDAP password information update failed: Confidentiality required*
*Operation requires a secure connection.*

The error log shows
Nov 13 11:47:17 HA-Dev-Nymgo-100-45 passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok):
