[Novalug] LDAP password change HOW?

[Megan Larko]

Hi,

I have inherited an LDAP passwd server.

I can successfully query it so I believe the LDAP Admin password I have 
been given is correct.

When I attempt to change the very random user password to something more 
memorable for the user I get unable to bind using the same LDAP admin 
password that I used to initially create the account and that I am able 
to use to search the database.

What is the invocation (-x -A -S, etc..) required to change a password 
on an LDAP v3 system in CentOS 5 linux?

Thanks!

My LDAP password change command  (It fails.):
[larkoc at crew01 scripts]$ ldappasswd -H ldap://ldap.crew.local -x -W -A 
-S -D "cn=bigdog,o=crew,dc=iges,dc=org" uid=5288
Old password:
Re-enter old password:
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

LDAP search example  (It works.):
[larkoc at crew01 scripts]$ ldapsearch -W -x -D "cn=bigdog,o=crew" -b 
"o=crew" -H ldap://ldap.crew.local uid=larkoc
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <o=crew> with scope subtree
# filter: uid=larkoc
# requesting: ALL
#
# larkoc, People, crew
dn: uid=larkoc,ou=People,o=crew
