RE: Password modify

Yeah -  adds work great!  I didn't get how to modify the password.  It looks like you have to read in the entire entry - modify - then re-add it.  Noticed that thinking in the LDAP Admin Guide Friday night.

There's a simple example right at the top of the Net::LDAP man page :-)

Or at <http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP.pod> if you prefer:

---
 $result = $ldap->add( 'cn=Barbara Jensen, o=University of Michigan, c=US',
                       attr => [
                         'cn'   => ['Barbara Jensen', 'Barbs Jensen'],
                         'sn'   => 'Jensen',
                         'mail' => '[email protected]',
                         'objectclass' => ['top', 'person',
                                           'organizationalPerson',
                                           'inetOrgPerson' ],
                       ]
                     );

 $result->code && warn "failed to add entry: ", $result->error ;
