This is password change in LDAP environment, it makes temp files, writes into them, then removes them. In the end, it prints out a report whether the operation has succeeded or not.
EDIT : And please, do not cross-post, your quesion will be answered eventually, even if it's posted at one place. We are not working in your organization, hence we don't know the setup of the servers, so further information may be obtained from the local sys admin.
