Hello all,
I'm trying to use smbpasswd to change the password for a user who's a member of an Active Directory domain (running in NT domain compatibility mode). The purpose of this is to have a web interface to allow users to change their passwords and keep track of various things like that. I had this working previously with a -really- old version of rpcclient that still had the 'ntpass' command. I believe that rpcclient might have even been from an early samba-tng. That broke when we went to AD, so I'm trying to use newer versions of Samba, I tried 2.2.4 and the 3.0 HEAD branch. The problem is that I need to be able to change a users' password AS
another user with administrator rights. Users have the ability to change their
own password disabled so that they must use the web interface. With rpcclient
from samba-tng, I could connect to IPC$ as administrator and then use "ntpass
<user>" to change their password. Is there an alternative method in the
newer AD-aware versions of Samba? Its rpcclient no longer has the 'ntpass'
command and smbpasswd doesn't support connecting as another user, from what I
can tell.
