  This may be a really silly question, but is your PHP compiled with
  LDAP support?  The function ldap_connect() will only be available
  if you compile php with the --with-ldap switch.  The SquirrelMail
  connection to LDAP is done via the imap server I believe (in this
  case at least), so the running order is something like this:

  SquirrelMail -- IMAP -- LDAP

  But when trying to change pass, you're trying to go:

  SquirrelMail -- LDAP

  Without PHP being compiled with LDAP support, that will fail.  I
  think that the reason it may return an error if you enter the wrong
  password because it probably logs you in first... then attempts to
  change the pass.  I am not entirely sure though, this would all be
  guess work as I've done little work with LDAP.  You may want to
  create a temporary file called test.php in your web server's
  document directory, and put the following code in:

  <? phpinfo(); ?>

  Save, then point your browser at it, like http://localhost/test.php
  and check to see if you have LDAP support.
