Hi Robert, I think the most secure (since you are not using SSL) and preferred way is to use a small application for this. You can easily give the users a web interface (written using php-ldap) to change their passwords or whatever stuff. phpldapadamin would do as well. But it's nicer to have your own something :) Thanks, ~Chamith
