Description Rob Crittenden 2008-11-12 20:36:37 UTC 
The password extop plugin requires that the entry have kerberos credentials (and/or objectclass I suppose) in order to reset a password using ldappasswd.

If you have an entry like this:

dn: uid=passsync,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=greyoak,dc=com
objectClass: account
objectClass: simplesecurityobject
objectClass: top
uid: passsync
userPassword::XXXXXX...

If fails if you do:

%ldappasswd -v -Y GSSAPI -S uid=passsync,cn=sysaccounts,cn=etc,dc=greyoak,dc=com
New password: 
Re-enter new password: 
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
SASL username: admin
SASL SSF: 56
SASL data security layer installed.
Result: Operations error (1)
Additional info: Failed to update password

DS logs:

[12/Nov/2008:15:34:36 -0500] ipa_pwd_extop - no krbPrincipalName present in this entry
[12/Nov/2008:15:34:36 -0500] ipa_pwd_extop - key encryption/encoding failed

Temporary workaround is to use ldapmodify and change the userPassword attribute.
