Hello,
I need to be able to reset a LDAP user's password if they forget it with the user root. But when I try the "passwd" command as root for a LDAP user, I get the following:
(as root)
passwd tuser
Changing password for user tuser.
Password reset by root is not supported.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error.
I am using sssd as the LDAP authentication mechanism tool, to be specific. Does anyone have a solution to dealing with this issue of resetting a LDAP user's password if they forgot it?
Thanks,
Rohit

Subject: using passwd with 389
Hello,
I want to be able to use the Unix "passwd" command to reset a LDAP user's password from the command line. However, I keep getting an authentication token manipulation error whenever I try to reset the password using that command. What do I need to do in the 389 DS or on Unix in order to get this command to work?
Thanks,
Rohit
