Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-600:
-------------------------------------------
I think a general "change password" operation using RFC 3062 (LDAP Password
Modify Extended Operation) makes more sense. Does AD support that?
A workaround could be to force usage of 'replace' operation for all modify
operations in the connection properties, tab 'Edit Options'
(http://directory.apache.org/studio/static/users_guide/ldap_browser/tools_connection_properties.html#tools_connection_properties_edit_options)

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-600
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-600
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: studio-ldapbrowser
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Environment: Directory Studio 1.5.1, Windows, Java 1.6.0_11
> Reporter: Petteri Stenius
>
> The "New Attribute" editor always results in "changetype: add". Sometimes it
> is useful to specify "changetype: replace".
> Use case: Password reset
> Password reset with Active Directory or ADAM is difficult without replace.
> Active Directory and ADAM always hides userPassword from all search results,
> and userPassword will never show up in the Entry Editor. Because of this I
> cannot use "Edit Value" to replace the password value.
> The best option seems to be to use New Attribute, which results in error 20
> (attributeOrValueExists).
> The working option, which is rather difficult, is to create a ldif script to
> execute.
