Topic: adding userPassword attribute to ldap users automaticly

[yolgezer]

i install ejabbard to my smeserver. i configured it to work with ldap. the users i created from server-manager doesn't have the userPassword attribute in ldap. so i have to add userPassword to ldap users to login from ejabberd. is it possible to automate it and have the ldap users with userPassword attribute when i create them from server-manager?

(Wild guess)

You might be able to automate it by customizing:

/etc/e-smith/events/actions/ldap-update

to add userPassword in the user account section.

It looks to me as though this script is called from signal-event user-add and signal-event user-update

Does anyone know if this works or not/ I need this to bridge a gap beween sme server and other applications.

Has anyone tried adding userPassword to LDAP directory?

If someone has done it already, please update this post with a how-to

Ronaldson be patient. The developers are working on it but they're still far from finished. You're welcome to help or fund them if you're in such a hurry.

How are you getting this added to the ldap server?  Are you just adding the userPassword attribute to each user and storing the password in plain text?  If a user then wants to change the password, I assume you then have to manually update the ldap info since by default its RO.
