Hi, What I'm trying to do is change the password[1] of user guest to see if my chain overlay will work with saslmech=external. Referring from this email[2] this should be working. But I'm a bit I confused cause I can't get this working while my syncrepl is working well. TIA [1] ldappaswd -s newPasswd - Set the new password to newPasswd.
