[Samba] Samba4 changing a user's password from linux workstation
Hi I'm trying to find a way to change user passwords from ubuntu client workstation on a samba4 domain. I tried in CLI from the client workstation (ubuntu 14.04) with: - smbpasswd -U $user => In this case, password seemed to be updated, but "wbinfo -a" didn't worked with the new password, the old one was still active. - samba-tool user setpassword $user => In this case i got a "ldb_search: /invalid basedn '(null)'/" What's the proper way to change the users password from the linux clients in a samba4 domain? Thanks for your help
