I'm trying to add pwdReset attribute to a user in order to reset the user password but It fails. I added the pwdReset attribute to the schema using Apache Directory Studio but I'm getting the same error.

Any recommendation?...Thanks!!

Read the ldif(5) manpage and examine the syntax and examples for doing multiple changes to a single entry. Your attempt doesn't follow that syntax.

This is the command that I run:

ldapmodify -c -H ldap://localhost -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=sample,dc=com" -w "password" <<EOF dn: uid=aaa,ou=People,dc=sample,dc=com changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword:test changetype: modify add: pwdReset pwdReset: TRUE EOF

This is the output:

ldapmodify: Undefined attribute type (17) additional info: changetype: attribute type undefined

The second "changetype" line is a syntax violation. You almost certainly want this:

dn: uid=aaa,ou=People,dc=sample,dc=com changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword: test - add: pwdReset pwdReset: TRUE
