### <ins>_Modify user password_</ins> ### <ins>_Modify user password_</ins>
in order to change a user password we can run the following command, in this example we are changing user (_uid_) marisa password from the Organizational Unit (_ou_) Supergirls In this examples, we are changing user uid marisa from ou Supergirls **password**.\
\
In order to change the password interactively (writing in the prompt when asked), we can run this command:
``` ```
root@example:/etc/ldap# ldappasswd -H ldap:/// -x -D "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com" -W -S "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com" root@example:/etc/ldap# ldappasswd -H ldap:/// -x -D "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com" -W -S "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com"
New password: plainpasswd New password: newpasswd
Re-enter new password: plainpasswd Re-enter new password: newpasswd
Enter LDAP Password: oldplainpasswd Enter LDAP Password: oldpasswd
``` ```
plainpasswd being the new password we want to use, and oldplainpasswd, the last plain password we were using _newpasswd_ being the new password we want to use, and _oldpasswd_, the last password we were using for the user uid marisa.\
\
To change the password in an non interactive (sending the password directly via the command), we can run this:
```
root@example:/etc/ldap# ldappasswd -H ldap:/// -x -D "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com" -w newpasswd "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com"
New password: 6vUj/2lE
```
_newpasswd_ being the new password we want to use. We can also notice the hashed output of our new password is not a typical LDAP SSHA hash, this is due to security implementations.
