My Bugzilla (BZ 2.18.5) is configured for using authentication with LDAP.
During testing I had a problem:
If I added a new user with a PWD on the LDAP Server, BZ add the user in the BZ
DB with another random PWD. If the user wants to change his PWD, he obtained
the following error message:
Incorrect Password
You did not enter your old password correctly.
The reason therefor probably due to the fact, that BZ compare the PWD with the
DB, but not with the PWD of LDAP.
If I change manually the field in the BZ DB choosing the same PWD of LDAP,
then I may put on userprefs.cgi a new PWD.
The new PWD is saving exclusively in the BZ DB but not in LDAP. The
consequence of which is that I must me authenticate after a logout with the
old PWD (of LDAP) and I cannot more change the PWD in userprefs.cgi.

afaik this has been fixed in newer versions (some time around 2.22).

Hello Marc,

thank you for the quick response.

Installing the BZ 2.22 solves not my problem, because I configured as login
type ldap only because I use the ldap server for a single-sign-on and if I
change the password in BZ the password would not been updated in the ldap
server. If the user use a other application he must always use the old
password for authentification. this is not my goal -- one user one password

does this mean you're asking for Bugzilla to update your LDAP server?
Writing to the LDAP server is not implemented.

Hello Marc,

yes why should the use change his LDAP password elsewise. Just in the
moment he edit bugs and do some other things in the BZ he will change his
password. He won't use a further application. He do a click on 'prefs' and
will change his password. If BZ can connect to the LDAP server an BZ is
configured as "LDAP" or "LDAP+DB" or "DB+LDAP" it should change the user LDAP
password too, ?

I don't know how many guys use BZ with a LDAP Server and how many of them wish
a function like this, but my point of view is that this is one of the main
feature of using LDAP to make the user administration a little bit easier for
the admins.

I can't see why we shouldn't (as an option) allow Bugzilla to update
LDAP passwords. Are you interested in writing a patch?

Kind regards
Marc

Hello Marc,

thank you for the offer

we are actual working on a solution/patch to write the password back into the
ldap server. should I open an item in your bugzilla or is there an existing bug?
