Great, and it sounds like you found a bug. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: brock samson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2015 11:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: pwdMustChange not working
Carlo, you are correct. pwdSafeModify value was TRUE. so after resetting it back to FALSE and restarting, everything is working as you described in your last post, thank you! however, the question remains to everyone else about pwdSafeModify attribute's value being TRUE and an admin changing some user's password via apache studio. as i stated in previous post, such action results in an error where apache studio asks for user's original password. my question is how to disclose this original password in apache studio? > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: pwdMustChange not working > Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 13:29:51 +0000 > > Brock, > Not sure about that.
