So I am trying to setup a command line script to simply changing users passwords. I know there are Perl modules and the like, but right now I just want to try to use ldapsearch and ldappasswd.

From my workstation(just a client of the LDAP server). ldapsearch is working fine. When I run

ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://blah.blah:#### -W -D uid=mradmin,ou=service-accounts,ou=taco,dc=bell,dc=com -b ou=taco,dc=bell,dc=com "(&(cn=*)(uid=testuser))"

This returns info. Looking at those results, it returned what I think I was looking for ... dc: uid=testuser,ou=people,ou=taco,dc=bell,dc=com ...

So I then ran.

ldappasswd -x -H ldaps://blah.blah:#### -D "uid=mradmin,ou=service-accounts,ou=taco,dc=bell,dc=com" -W "uid=testuser,ou=people,ou=taco,dc=bell,dc=com"

And I get the following error

Result: No such object (32) Additional info: Error in search for entry "oid=1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1,cn=features,cn=config".

I very new to dealing with LDAP, so I could be missing something simple from the command line. Thanks for any pointers.

Doesn't sound like you're using OpenLDAP tools. The OpenLDAP ldappasswd command doesn't do any such thing.
