[Jxplorer-users] JXplorer and ldapchangepwd

[André Kraut]

Hi,

have the following strange behaviour with ITDS:

Was able in the past to change user password via JXplorer. But after I
have used ldapchangepwd once to change the password of a user, I can not
longer change his password via JXplorer. If I try this, a file dialog
box pops up?!? And in addition - if I specify a filename, the users
password will be saved into this file in plain format!

Any ideas, how to come around this?

Regards Andre

Hi Andre,

this sounds very strange. What is the password attribute? Is it
userPassword?

What version of JX are you using?

It sounds like the attribute might be being treated as a normal binary
attribute rather than as a password?

Hi Chris,

yes it is the attribute userPassword. The JX version I had the problem
with was V3.1 (2005-04-07). I have installed V3.2 now and the problem is
gone :-))

The only bad thing is, that cn=root could use V3.1 to extract the plain
password of all users, that changed it via ldapchangepwd in the past. Do
you know if ldapchangepwd has an option to encrypt the password similar
to the one you use in JX (plain, MD5, SHA, ...)? If I don't use plain
in 3.2 changing the pwd, the one "exported" via pwd change function in
3.1 is encrypted...
