Some further information: This is CentOS 7, with standard RPMs,

4.4.0-14. I'm unable to update because of a convoluted proxy setup to
allow users to change their passwords from a particular location.
Even running the code mentioned previously under the admin keytab will
still throw the error about insufficient write privileges to
krbPasswordExpiration attribute.
To help me troubleshoot, is there a way to tell which permissions apply
to the krbPasswordExpiration attribute in
the cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=dev,dc=example,dc=net subtree?
The permissions depend on the bound user but there are is no write
access to any user by default for this attribute. This is part of

Hello Everyone,
I'm testing out a FreeIPA password reset app and was wondering about
its use of an API call to reset the user's password.
The code in question is
at https://github.com/larrabee/freeipa-password-reset/blob/master/Passwor...
it's at line 61/62:
api.Command.user_mod(uid=unicode(uid), userpassword=unicode(password))
api.Command.user_mod(uid=unicode(uid),
setattr=unicode("krbPasswordExpiration={0}".format(date)))
When using the API, do you need to manually set the password
expiration date?
The reason I ask is because while testing, that code raises an
exception with the error message "Insufficient access: Insufficient
'write' privilege to the 'krbPasswordExpiration' attribute of entry
'uid=test,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=dev,dc=example,dc=net'."
I checked the permission "System: Change User Password" and it
doesn't include krbPasswordExpiration as a writable attribute.
I know that if you use ldapmodify to manually set the user's
password, you do need to also modify
the krbPasswordExpiration attribute, but I wasn't sure when
modifying via the IPA API.
I hope this makes sense, thank you to everyone who answers questions
on this list, you really positively impact the open source community!
Many Thanks,
Anthony
