hello,
If i use ldapmodify command, some change of password policy's "User
may change password" attribute is used immedialety without ldap deamon
restart,
but if y use ldappassword, i have to restart ldap deamon !!!
why this difference ?
Let me see if I understand. After changing the password
policy to "User
may change password":
If you use ldapmodify to change the userPassword attribute, the policy
is in effect immediately without a server restart
If you use ldappasswd to change the user's password, the policy is not
in effect until after a server restart
Is this correct? If so, sounds like a bug - in either case, the change
should take effect immediately.
