DESCRIPTION

       ldappasswd  is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.

       ldappasswd sets the password of associated with  the  user
       [or an optionally specified user].  If the new password is
       not specified on the command line  and  the  user  doesn't
       enable  prompting,  the server will be asked to generate a
       password for the user.

       ldappasswd is  neither  designed  nor  intended  to  be  a
       replacement  for  passwd(1) and should not be installed as
       such.


OPTIONS

              specifying the password on the command line.

              Set the old password to oldPasswd.

              LDAP directory.

       -d debuglevel
              Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.   ldap­
              passwd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for
