NAME
       ldapsetpasswd - modifies a POSIX user account's password in LDAP.

SYNOPSIS
       ldapsetpasswd <username|uid> [encodedpassword]

OPTIONS
       <username | uid>
	      The name or uid of the user whose password has to be modified.

       [encoded password]
	      If  specified  this  way, the password will be copied verbatim into the LDAP directory. If not specified, you will be prompted for a
	      password that will be changed using the ldappasswd(1) command.

SEE ALSO
       ldapfinger(1), ldapid(1), ldapgid(1), ldapscripts(5).

AVAILABILITY
       The ldapscripts are provided under the GNU General Public License v2 (see COPYING for more details).  The latest version of the ldapscripts
       is available on : http://contribs.martymac.org

LIMITATIONS
       When  used  interactively, passwords generated with this command are propagated with the ldappasswd(1) command.	Thus, the resulting format
       depends on the 'password-hash' option of your server's slapd.conf(5) file.

       You can always force an encoded password (using the hash format of your choice) by specifying it on the command line.

BUGS
       No bug known.
