Hi all,

I'm trying to add or modify a users password via Perl Net::LDAP and was not successful.

I tried to set a password in three different ways to the attribute userPassword:

clear text
a base64 encoded SHA hash / prefix {SHA}
a base64 encoded salted SHA hash / prefix {SSHA}

Do I miss sth? Any ideas?

KR,
Sascha

You need an LDAP extended operation, password modify.

@nitnelave: Thanks, I did no see the woods for the trees,,,, setting the password works like charm now ;-)

The next thing I'm facing now is group membership with a modify to the group dn
changes => add => member => dn
results in "Invalid username: Unexpected DN format."

Are you trying to add a group membership from LDAP? I don't think that's supported. LDAP is mostly read-only, apart from setting passwords and creating users.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.

If this is not supposed to work, then I'm fine with this, but I would appreciate this as feature.

It shouldn't be too hard to implement, but I don't have time to do it. If you want to take a crack at it, I can help and review PRs.
