Anyway. As the subject suggests, my question is how to code application which allows user to change his password. Or better to ask, if there is some [to me] unknown LDAP function which figures out what password encryption [hash] is used and generates new hash of password, if application should have idea at all what kind of password encryption is used. I think this is just impossible. Login is one thing, changing password is another.

That's what ldappasswd is for. And no, the application should never have any idea what encryption a server uses. That's purely a server-internal issue.

Oh, well...
