Fedora directory users - Feb 2006 - crash after succesfull pwdchange via ldappasswd

Hello,

I''m trying out different ways of changing password and looking at how
these
handle the policies (eg pwd history)
I can succesfully change a password from the command line (passwd)  on a
Linux LDAP client
When I try changing the password using ldappasswd the slapd process
disappears after a succesfull change ( ldappasswd -x -h ldapserver -D
''uid=user2change,base'' -A -S -W -ZZ
''uid=user2change,base'' )
It ends with:
 ldappasswd: ldap_result: Can''t contact LDAP server (-1)
Which means slapd died. When I startup slapd on the server I can do an
ldapsearch with the new password.
Has anyone seen the same behaviour?

Someone told me about a web gateway included in FDS to change password, at
which URL can I find this? Should I specifically enable this webinterface?

TIA,
Jo

Nope - sounds like a bug in FDS.

Yes.  First, http://yourhost:adminserverport/ from your browser - this 
is the same url used by the console.

Then, go to the Services for Admins - the Directory Gateway - it''s not 
exclusively for admins.  You can authenticate as a regular user, then 
view your entry.  Allows self service stuff.  One of the options on the 
user''s edit page is to change password.

What version of Fedora DS are you using?  I''m not able to reproduce
this
with version 1.0.1.
