Looking back again, I notice that there are some entries on my slapd.conf which, if JBoss does in fact allow changes, may be causing the problems. Perhaps the problem is here: # The userPassword by default can be changed | # by the entry owning it if they are authenticated. | # Others should not be able to see it, except the | # admin entry below | # These access lines apply to database #1 only | access to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange | by dn="cn=admin,dc=cobracombat" write | by anonymous auth | by self write | by * none Which should probably be: # The userPassword by default can be changed | # by the entry owning it if they are authenticated. | # Others should not be able to see it, except the | # admin entry below | # These access lines apply to database #1 only | access to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange | by dn="uid=admin,ou=People,dc=cobracombat,dc=com" write | by anonymous auth | by self write | by * none I will try it out and post the results. If anyone knows whether or not I am correct about LDAP updates being unsupported, please provide a confirmation.
