Re: Question about LDAP and password Changes

A little start in php:

It should help you a little bit on the way, look at the php
documentation for more. 
http://no2.php.net/manual/en/ref.ldap.php

<?php
if ($newpass1 == $newpass2) {
	$ds=ldap_connect("ldap://server";);
	if ($ds) {
		$r=ldap_bind($ds, $dn, $password);
	}
	if ($r) {
		Bind sucsessfully, code to change password
		ldap_mod_replace/ldap_modify...
	}
	else {
		Bind unsucsessfully, send some errormessages...
	}
}
else {
	echo "Passwords do not match"
}
?>
