NAME

       ldapsetpasswd - modifies a POSIX user account's password in LDAP.

SYNOPSIS

       ldapsetpasswd <username|uid> [encodedpassword]

OPTIONS

       <username | uid>
              The name or uid of the user whose password has to be modified.

       [encoded password]
              If  specified  this  way,  the  password  will  be  copied  verbatim  into the LDAP
              directory. If not specified, you will be prompted  for  a  password  that  will  be
              changed using the ldappasswd(1) command.

AVAILABILITY

       The ldapscripts are provided under the GNU General Public License v2 (see COPYING for more
       details).    The   latest   version   of   the   ldapscripts    is    available    on    :

LIMITATIONS

       When  used  interactively,  passwords  generated with this command are propagated with the
       ldappasswd(1) command.  Thus, the resulting format depends on the  'password-hash'  option
       of your server's slapd.conf(5) file.

       You  can  always  force  an  encoded  password  (using  the hash format of your choice) by
       specifying it on the command line.
