Does anyone had any idea on below error I got when I using PWM to update the user password:
~~~~
Unexpected error. If this error occurs repeatedly please contact your helpdesk. { 5015 ERROR_UNKNOWN (error setting password for user 'cn=Lingfei Ouyang,ou=people,dc=abb,dc=com'' [LDAP: error code 50 - Insufficient Access Rights]) }

Thanks

Which is your proxy user, the domain administrator or a own user?
The change from the password would be done with the access rights from the logon user. in this example with "Lingfei Ouyang". This user must be have grants to write something to the ldap schema attributes.


What Kind of LDAP do you use? OpenLDAP or FreeIPA or Oracle Directory or Microsoft Active Directory?
Had similar issue with the error 50.
Created /etc/openldap/addPwdAccess.ldif with:
dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcAccess
olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword
by self write
by anonymous auth
by dn.base="cn=sysaccount,dc=puppet,dc=com" write
by * none
olcAccess: {1}to *
by self write
by dn.base="cn=sysaccount,dc=puppet,dc=com" write
by * read
~
Then we pushed it to the ldif...
ldapmodify -QY EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f addPwdAccess.ldif
