How did you setup Jira? Do you use Crowd? You can setup Jira to users to only use LDAP for users and passwords (no internal Jira accounts), to create Jira accounts seeded from LDAP and use LDAP for passwords, or only internal Jira accounts (no LDAP). Adding Crowd SSO to the mix, means that you can synchronize accounts between Jira and LDAP.
Jenkins either uses LDAP or uses internal accounts but it does not provide any functionality to update LDAP - like updating passwords. As Qazwart stated, you have to use another LDAP tool to achieve this - once the password is changed in LDAP all systems using LDAP will see the new password. If Jira provides this for then have your users change their LDAP password using Jira. -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dalen, van William Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 4:38 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: change password LDAP-user in Jenkins <<LDAP services have differing passwords setup and requirements.

A user can change his own password in JIRA and through OpenDJ (with a PostgreSQL database) the new password immediately is affected for other applications. So, after that when the user wants to log on in Jenkins the new credentials are affected. So, my question remains, if i use OpenDJ with LDAP where is item in Jenkins>people>configure that a user can change its password?

For example, you can use Windows Active Directory as an LDAP service. In this case the user would change their password through Windows. LDAP services have differing passwords setup and requirements. It's impossible for third party services to be able to handle that. There are many services where I can "sign on" with my Twitter or Facebook account, but none where I can change my password. -- David Weintraub da...@weintraub.name On Aug 20, 2012, at 6:59 AM, Willem <willlem1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > When Jenkins uses its own database, then a user can change his own password. > But in my configuration Jenkins uses a LDAP (OpenDS) database.
