Is this happening on the LDAP server or a LDAP client?  The insufficient
access sounds like a LDAP configuration problem to me.  Make sure users
are allowed to change their passwords.  This can be set in your
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf file.  Here's what I have:

access to dn=".*,ou=People,o=v12,o=UMDNJ,c=US"
                attr=userPassword
        by self write
        by dn="uid=root,ou=People,o=v12,o=UMDNJ,c=US" write
        by * auth


This allows root to change everyones password, and allows everyone to
change their own password.  Make sure to change your dn.

Hi all,

 

For all the LDAP gurus out there, I have openldap setup on RH 3.0

user authentication works fine, but attempts to change passwd failed.

 

[prk at Banndramail2 prk]$ passwd

Changing password for user prk.

Changing password for prk

(current) UNIX password:

Enter login(LDAP) password:

New password:

Retype new password:

LDAP password information update failed: Unknown error

 

passwd: Permission denied

[prk at Banndramail2 prk]$

 

and in /var/log/messages

 

Nov 30 23:02:48 Banndramail2 passwd[5435]: pam_ldap: ldap_modify_s
Insufficient access

 

Thanks & Regards,

 

Prashant Kulkarni
