I just setup 389 Directory on a fresh CentOS box.
I realise, or I can't seem to find, there's no way for user to change their own profile/password, aka self service.
I can access the service through localhost:9830, but that's pretty administrative on a very minimalist level.
Looking through the docs, don't seem to suggest any way to do it by default. One option is to use phpldapadmin.
Is that the only way? No out-of-box option?
Just trying to find out if I miss anything here.
No, there's no default option. It's really not the sort of thing you'd expect to get really. You should just be able to fully integrate the user applications into the server, so that the standard password tools can change the server details.
Remember than LDAP is a generic directory server, designed to store any arbitrary data in a tree like structure. Don't think that it is only for usernames and passwords.

Hi acid, thanks for your input.
I just found out that other than dirsrv, there's a dirsrv-admin, which is the page that loads http://localhost:9830
Was told that I can allow user to self-service through that, but I can't seem to find much option.
