ldappasswd v1 vs v2 -- need v1 functionality

["Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC" <chad@shire.net>]

Hi

I upgraded to v2 of openldap from a v1 installation some time ago.    
The v2 ldappasswd is much different so I kept a v1 ldappasswd command 
around, since it works against my v2 database.  However, now I am 
installing this on a friends machine, with a different architecture, so 
I need to perhaps find a better solution.

Namely, I need the v1 ldappasswd functionality in a command line tool 
that allows me to update a password field in my ldap database where the 
password field is in an arbitrary attribute using an arbitrary 
supported encryption method.

This is what I was doing with v1 ldappasswd (example from in a script):

ldappasswd -a somePasswordField -b "myDomain=$2,dc=me,dc=tld" -e $3 -W 
-D "cn=Manager,dc=me,dc=tld" -H md5 "myAccountName=$1"

looking at the man page for the v2 ldappasswd, I don't see any way to 
specify the attribute to update etc.  Any enlightement would be 
appreciated.

Thanks
Chad
