I'd like to request that a Password Modify ext. op. request should succeed on a LDAP connection as anonymous if the LDAP client provides the correct old password.

E.g. OpenDS implements it like this and it makes sense to me regarding a user setting a new password in case of an expired password.

Adding this feature would open up the pwdModify exop as a mechanism for password guessing attacks.

There could be still the bad password counter in effect just like when processing bind requests.

Ciao, Michael.
