samba - Mar 2017 - Fwd: Re: Samba AD Manage User, set unix passwd

I need the unix password for mail. the user should not be able to change
this, if win* password is changed.

In the wiki i have read that you should not mix RSAT and samba-tool
management, thats why i ask.

is there a way to set a unix password after a domain user is created?

Most Linux mailservers should be able to authenticate with the AD
password, but I suppose you could use the Unix password.

I think you are going to have to write your own script around
ldbmodify/ldapmodify and the unixUserPassword attribute

I found this one

It's a good point of start.
