ldapsam_modify_entry: LDAP Password could not be changed for user michael: Confidentiality required No clue is given as to whether samba is giving this error, or whether the idealx tools are giving this error. Neither samba, nor idealx are configured to use TLS to talk to the LDAP server, and the LDAP server doesn't require TLS. I cannot find any obvious trace of a logfile entry that might reveal a solution to the mystery of why the password cannot be changed.

ldap passwd sync = no

For some reason, ldap passwd sync seems to be broken on samba 3.0.25b.
