Change user Password from an AIX on openLDAP server

Hello

I’m running openldap-2.3.43 on an RHEL 5.3 All works fine (like usual) with the linux clients but I have some troubles with AIX

I have done this tests with An AIX 5.3 TL9 host.

When I change my password with AIX it runs like that

[user@host] $ passwd

Changing password for "user"

user's Old password:

user's New password:

Enter the new password again:

And it’s done, over.

When I check the modification on openLDAP server the password is in clear in the field « userPassword ».

On my linux clients it ask the new password 2 times (normal ?) and is not in clear in userPassword filed.

[user@host] $ passwd

Changing password for user user.

Enter login(LDAP) password:

New UNIX password:

Retype new UNIX password:

New password:

Re-enter new password:

LDAP password information changed for user

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
