Nope.  Didn't work.  I edited the entry, put in another password, then login using the new password and never get prompted to change it.  I saw something online here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html/Administration_Guide/User_Account_Management.html#Managing_the_Password_Policy-Setting_User_Passwords.  Section 13.1.1.5 says something about a bug in Directory Server.  Is that something that I should follow or is that doc outdated?

Thanks,
Harry

In my 389-ds setup, I have a password policy in place where the user must change their password after a reset, they are allowed to change their password, and it expires after 90 days.  However, I cannot find where the Directory Manager can actually RESET a user's password.  The docs are very vague in this area IMO, so I'm sure I overlooked it.


Not sure, but you may be able to login as directory manager, edit the user's entry, and change the password to some bogus value.


Where do I go in the console to reset a particular user's password so they will be prompted to change it when they log in again?
