Hi,

I'm trying to migrate to samba4 and had the following issue:
I have SSSD configured to authenticate users on linux machines that I get
from a samba4 service through LDAP endpoint. Users are successfuly
authenticated in the system, but I can't manage to change password of these
users from command line. When I try to use passwd command, i got the
following:
Password change failed. Server message: Extended
Operation(1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1) not supported
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
I saw in another forums that it's possible to bypass this error changing
permissions from the user that is authenticating on LDAP base to write
other users passwords, but in this case it's a samba4 base using a LDAP
interface. Is it possible to grant this kind of permission to the user
authenticating through LDAP?

sssd should be able to change passwords over kpasswd or ldap (with the
AD method, which is over unicodePwd), but sadly Samba does not support
the extended operation method yet. We would love to support it, but
that requires engineering at this stage.

Sorry,
