I have been using ltb self-service password with an AD LDAP server for several years with no problems. Today, one of my users told me that he could not use the send token method to reset his password. He gets the email with a proper link and the page shows up as expected prompting him for a new password with his proper username displayed. However, when he submits his new password, he gets a “password was refused by the LDAP directory” error message. I verified this and also determined that the regular password change form has the same behavior. As I said, this has not been a problem for the 3 years I’ve been using the program. To make this even more interesting, some users do not have this problem and can successfully set and change their passwords.

First, has anyone seen this kind of thing, and what exactly does that particular error message mean? (I get what it means; I want to know what behavior triggers the message) Second, can anyone provide any tips on how I might go about troubleshooting this?



Hi Gray,

if SSP error is “password was refused by the LDAP directory”, this means the directory (in your case AD) has rejected the password. Often it is because the password complexity is too low or does not fit to other parameters of the AC password policy (history, size, ...)

You can try to set debug to true in SSP config to get more information, but the best would be to have the log on AD side that will explain why the password was rejected.

And if you don't have it done yet, try to use the latest version of SSP (1.0) that was published some days ago.
