password change does not work: LDAP, sssd, nss or pam error?

I agree with you that it really shouldn't make any difference which LDAP
server you are using and I am presuming that this 'user' is trying to
change his password on a system that is not the LDAP server but rather
an LDAP client.

I have done this with previous versions of Fedora and if you are willing
to wait until Sunday, I will test it out at home (I don't use LDAP for
Fedora client authentication at my house, only Samba clients and on the
LDAP server itself).
