Change LDAP password

[joan-open]

Hi forum!

I use oxldapsync with open-xchange.

The LDAP server in on a separate host.

When I change the password in my OX the password is not changed in my ldap. It is possible when I change the password in the OX automatically is changed in the ldap.

Best regards!

You could try to use the package open-xchange-passwordchange-script. That allows to run a script to do such stuff.

Hi,

I install this package, but I don't find any information to buid this script.

Have you a example script?....

Thanks!

I just created an article in the Wiki containing an example:

Sorry my ineptitude, but I can't put my command to change the LDAP user password is your script.

The command that I use to change the password in the LDAP is:

ldappasswd -h my_ldap_server -D "uid=my_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -w old_password -s new_password "uid=my_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

or if you want prompt passwords:

ldappasswd -h my_ldap_server -D "uid=my_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -W -S "uid=my_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

Thanks for your attention,

Joan

Hi Joan,

the open-xchange-passwordchange-script returns some values:

# 1. --cid - Context ID
# 2. --username - Username of the logged in user
# 3. --userid - User ID of the logged in user
# 4. --oldpassword - Old user password
# 5. --newpassword - New user password

if you are using ldappasswd, maybe do you need use /bin/bash scripts with tipical $1,$2,$3 args.

Please, test it using this example:

vim /bin/changepw.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo ox-return $1 $2 > /tmp/returns.sh

Hi Dioni,

It works!, this is my "simple" changepwd.sh to change the ldap password in a openldap server:

#!/bin/bash
ldappasswd -h my_ldap_server -D "uid=$4,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -w $8 -s ${10} "uid=$4,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

Thanks for yours very usefull instructions!

Best regards,

Joan
