Hello, I have a (Open)LDAP directory currently used for authentication purposes on Linux systems. For now I have added/changed users and groups with python scripts generating ldif files, with GQ (a GUI LDAP browser), and with a python script to change the passwords of users (dialog, python-ldap, reportlab to generate PDF-files with the new password).
I want users to be able to change their own password. What kind of solution do you use for this? I'm not sure if /usr/bin/passwd combined with PAM_LDAP is sufficient. Without much study I have tried and currently /usr/bin/passwd stores the password in cleartext. I want to use SMD5. A custom password update utility will fix this. If I add SAMBA support I have to update two passwords. Is it possible to use /usr/bin/passwd for this? Thanks, Erling --- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
