I have a user:

[root@gomer ~]# ldapsearch -D 'cn=Manager,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' -b "uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxxxx -x # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL #

# testuser, People, gomer.mdah.state.ms.us dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us uid: testuser cn: test user telephoneNumber: 5766888 roomNumber: IS homePhone: 3738042 givenName: test sn: user mail: testuser@dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount shadowWarning: 7 loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 501 gidNumber: 101 homeDirectory: /home/testuser gecos: test user,IS,5766888,3738042 sambaSID: S-1-5-21-2139886109-2393431639-217723040-2002 sambaPasswordHistory: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 sambaLMPassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sambaNTPassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sambaPwdMustChange: 1196173997 sambaPwdLastSet: 1196174310 sambaAcctFlags: [U ] shadowLastChange: 13844 shadowMax: 99999 userPassword:: e0NSWVBUfWNyTxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

# search result search: 2 result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1

and an ldif file:

[root@gomer ~]# cat testuserchangepassword.ldif dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us changetype: modify userPassword: {CRYPT}crLJzfHxxxxxxxx

and I runt he command to change it, but then the password isn't changed when you do the same ldapsearch:

[root@gomer ~]# ldapmodify -D "cn=Manager,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxxxx -x -v -f testuserchangepassword.ldif ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) replace userPassword: {CRYPT}crLJzfHxxxxxxxx modifying entry "uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" modify complete

[root@gomer ~]# ldapsearch -D 'cn=Manager,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' -b "uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w xxxxxxxxx -x|grep userPassword userPassword:: e0NSWVBUfWNyTxxxxxxxxxxx=

any idea why it says the modify is successful but its not changing the userPassword?
