The integration of LDAP [RFC2251] and external authentication services
has introduced non-DN authentication identities and allowed for
non-directory storage of passwords.   As such, mechanisms which update
the directory, such as Modify operation, cannot be used to change a
user's password.  This document describes an LDAP extended operation
to allow allow modification of user passwords which is not dependent
upon the form of the authentication identity nor the password storage
mechanism used.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
