Changing password as administrator

[Avinash S. <av...@su...>]

Hi,

What is the equivalent of running the below command in python-ldap?

    ldappasswd -x -D <root_dn> -w <root_pw> -s secret_password \
        uid=user000,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com


Thus far I had been manipulating the userPassword attribute with the 
encrypted password. Now I would like to send the plain password to the 
server so that it can do the encryption according to the password-hash 
configuration in slapd.conf.

-thanks
Avinash

ldap_conn = ldap.initialize(...)
ldap_conn.simple_bind_s('<rootdn>,'<rootpw>')
ldap_conn.passwd_s('uid=user000,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com',None,'<newpassword>')

Ciao, Michael.

Thanks Michael. I didn't realize I could use 'None' for the old password!
