Issue ID: 9722 Summary: UX defect in screen to specify new password Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: christos.hayward@gmail.com Target Milestone: ---
On a Debian 10 Linode, I ran:
"aptitude install slapd ldap-utils".
The screen prompting for a password was written in a way that led me to believe I was being asked for a password previously set as an LDAP password.
This reflects a UX defect.
I suggest a wording that shows clearly that one is being asked to assign a new password to LDAP, not enter a pre-existing password already assigned to LDAP.
