I have always wondered about zentyal user corner BTW. When I first started working with LDAP in 08/09, I was able to setup centos-ds (fork of redhat directory server) to allow windows workstations to change a logged in users password by using the standard ctrl+alt+del security menu. Basically initiating that step would call smbldap-passwd for the user on the server.
In zentyal I can not figure out how to replicate this step. In a master /slave setup I can understand the need for user corner since replication is only one way, but with a stand alone PDC it should be possible. my 2 cents On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 7:01 AM, Jake Markhus <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes I would be paid.
