Toolserver:LDAP

The Toolserver uses LDAP for local authentication.

To use certain services (such as subversion and phpMyAdmin) you will need to set your LDAP password. To do this, run the following command:

$ setpass

If your password is not strong enough, you might receive an error message from setpass. The password must contain at least two of punctuation, numeric and alphabetical characters. If the password you choose is not strong enough, the error message will indicate the problem. Choose a new password, and run setpass again.

Please notice: The maximum length of the password is 8 characters. If your input is longer, it will be automatically shorten (without a notification).

Your LDAP password cannot be used to log in via SSH. You must use SSH keys for that.

It's also to change your e-mail address from the command line:

$ setmail
