I am trying to use the ldappasswd –s option to set a users password but
if I use certain characters i.e. '$&() it won't run the command
because of the special characters, if I enclose the whole password in
double quotes it at least accepts the command but it doesn't change the
password correctly because I can't login using the new password. If I
run the ldappasswd –S so it prompts and I manually enter the same
password it sets it correctly and I can then login with the new password.
What is the difference on how the –s and –S sets the password. I
need to use the –s for a webpage that I have setting the password.
Thank you
I'd think in the first case (with -s) it is including the quotes as a part
of the password. It is often inadvisable to use binaries in things like
web pages. Why not use Net::LDAPapi or Net::LDAP (both perl) or PHP to do
the password change?
