LDAP Self Service Password is a small nodejs project which allow users the ability to change your password in ldap.

Install dependencies

$ npm install .

Configure

Copy the original config file and make the propper changes:

$ cp config/default.json.dist config/default.json

Install utility script on ldap machine

This script is a small piece of code responsible for changing the password on LDAP.

For security reasons the nodejs app is not allowed to change the LDAP password directly. We need a secure connection (ssh) with the LDAP machine to run this script.

Again, for security reasons, the LDAP admin password is stored in LDAP machine, please adjust the settings variable LDAP_PASS_FILE.

For instance to copy to your.ldap.your.domain, run:

$ scp scripts/change-ldap-password [email protected]:/usr/local/sbin/

Configure the settings for the utility script (ldap machine)

You need to create the file /root/.lssprc with few variables, copy from template and make the propper changes:

$ scp config/.lssprc.dist [email protected]:.lssprc
