user change user password from script in Linux

[Lois Bennett]

Hello!

I am working on developing a script that can be run from the Linux command line that will allow users to change their passwords for all  accounts in one place.  So I have the AD part worked out and I can use the passwd command wrapped in the python script for LDAP but I still need to solve the gmail/Google.  

Can I set up GAM so that my script can change the user's google password for our domain?  I am already using GAM to allow the system administrators to change a user's password but not the user themself.  

Thanks for your help.

Peace,

Lois

This should be easy with GAM, since you can change passwords non-interactively... ie

gam update user '[user...@domain.name]' password '[password]'

We do this both with our administrative scripts and with our web password management apps.

I'd be interested how you did the AD side of this.

Thanks.  I find I will have to run this as a setuid in order to get permission to run and it doesn't seem to work from the script but that is a different question.

About the AD side: I started from the working script in the answer to this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20875708/how-can-i-change-password-for-domain-userwindows-active-directory-using-python  

As I am learning python in the process it has been interesting.  It does work for me though.
