Yes it certainly will, but, its probably a bit scary for most users. I |
| 10 |
had the same problem and ended up solving it by using poppassd_ceti and |
| 11 |
hacking up a simple webpage interface for it. |

This is the same functionality as what I do with the above. |

It can but the interface is overly complex for simply changing a |
| 21 |
password and is likely to scare off most end users, hence the setup |
| 22 |
described above. Bear in mind that with LDAP if a user is able to bind |
| 23 |
to the DIT then they are able to change their own passwords with |
| 24 |
something as simple as ldapmodify from the command line, all that is |
| 25 |
stopping most users doing this is the knowledge of HOW to do it. |
