[opensuse] A few questions about using LDAP
Hi all, I've just installed LDAP Server with openSUSE10.3. All users are able to login from a specific openSUSE 10.3 machine. Here are the questions: - How can I make LDAP use more than 8 characters in the password ? No matter what scheme I use ( crypt, ssha, etc... ), YaST always complains that it will only support 8 characters and will truncate the password to those 8 characters. - How can I change the LDAP password of a specific users without using YaST ? When I type passwd and fill out everything, I get this error ( even with root user ): Enter login(LDAP) password: New Password: Reenter New Password: LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access Must supply old password to be changed as well as new one passwd: Permission denied - Does the above command, passwd, allows regular users to change their passwords ?

You need to go to Yast Ldap client Advanced configuration Admin adjustments tab Configure user management options select suseuserconfiguration adjust the entry of max password length
- How can I change the LDAP password of a specific users without using YaST ? When I type passwd and fill out everything, I get this error ( even with root user ): Enter login(LDAP) password: New Password: Reenter New Password: LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access Must supply old password to be changed as well as new one passwd: Permission denied

It works for me -- Un saludo. Carlos Lorenzo Matés. clmates AT mundo-r DOT com

It also did for me after I removed the "Must provide old password checkbox". Thanks Carlos.
