Hi,
i just test PasswordPolicy and want to modify passwords with
Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword, but when i run this script,
$msg->gen_password() creats a random password and modifies
newpassword=> with the radom generated value instead of the defined
password. Is this a bug or is my script bogus. The docs say
gen_password ( )
Return the password generated in the previous
"set_password()"
call.
My guess is that the documentation is wrong. The LDAP extended
operation used returns the server generated password. In your use
of the operation, the server didn't generate a password, so the
generated password field should not be present in the server's
response.
That is, the documentation should say something like:
Return the password generated by the server in response to the
set_password() call when applicable.
