Hello Quanah,
I also tried a passwd command on one of my client servers to the ldap server that has the issue & received this error:
foxdiv@dvprfsl5.sldc.sbc.com's password: Last failed login: Mon Sep 21 17:02:24 CDT 2020 from 135.70.155.254 on ssh:notty There were 2 failed login attempts since the last successful login. Last login: Fri Aug 28 12:27:35 2020 from 135.70.140.195 [foxdiv@dvprfsl5 ~]$ passwd Changing password for user foxdiv. Current Password: System is offline, password change not possible passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [foxdiv@dvprfsl5 ~]$
Thanks, Ed

Hello Quanah,
I appreciate your help, and I wanted to give you some insight on how IBM set up our LDAP server regarding password changes. Below is an example what we have, essentially the .sh script performs an ldapmodify operation, using the ResetPW.ldif file.
What directory server are you running? The discussion so far has been assuming that you're using OpenLDAP. IBM's directory server may have different requirements.
Regards, Quanah
