---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1001
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1001
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Environment: * ApacheDS 1.5.1 (SNAPSHOT)
* Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03)
* Windows XP Professional SP2
Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
Fix For: 1.5.1
Attachments: changePwd.ldif, tori.ldif
Changes to userPassword attribute seem not to be reflected by server
immediately, if performed by another user. Here is what I did:
(1) Add this entry to the directory:
---
dn: cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com
sn: Amos
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
cn: Tori Amos
userpassword: secret
---
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w secret -a -f
tori.ldif
adding new entry cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com
(2) Check, that Tori can authenticate
$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D "cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com" -w
secret -b "" -s base "(objectClass=*)" vendorName
version: 1
dn:
vendorName: Apache Software Foundation
(3) Modify Tori's password
LDIF-File:
---
dn: cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: geheim
-
---
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w secret -f
changePwd.ldif
modifying entry cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com
Note, that I use the admin account to perform this operation!
(4) Check, whether it works
$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D "cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com" -w
geheim -b "" -s base "(objectClass=*)" vendorName
ldap_simple_bind: Invalid credentials
ldap_simple_bind: additional info: Bind failed: null
$ ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D "cn=Tori Amos,dc=example,dc=com" -w
secret -b "" -s base "(objectClass=*)" vendorName
version: 1
dn:
vendorName: Apache Software Foundation
I think this behavior is not correct, because the new password "geheim" should
work immediately (as you assume as well). Note that the problem does not occur,
if the user "Tori Amos" changes her password herself. In this case, the new
password is valid immediately.
