Re: ldappasswd not working...

[Ken Kleiner <ken@cs.uml.edu>]

Hi....I solved my problem, sort of.

What I was trying to do was change the password of 'username', but this syntax
was telling ldap to change the password of 'cn=ldapmanger', hence the
error of not being able to find the entry - that is my root DN.

What I'll do instead is write a script to run slappasswd, have it create
the password string and force it in via ldapmodify, binding with the ROOTDN.
