Can I reset the password for my account present in AD LDS through Drupal 8 website password reset form

Issue formatting.

Changed version in version field.

Hi

As long as you have mixed authentication enabled you should be able to use Drupal's authentication as well as LDAP side-by-side and the match is opportunistic, i.e., if you use the password reset function for a user he or she can receive a new password and it doesn't have to match your AD.

Also, you should be able to update your user's data in the directory as long as you have configured the relevant field mapping under "Provisioning to LDAP", though I personally don't have such a setup running.

Hey grahl,
So does that mean that this LDAP suite of modules doesn't support LDAP password management/maintenance at all while in exclusive mode?

I thought the old D6 implementation, using the https://www.drupal.org/project/ldap_integration module supported password manage in the LDAP, but we may have created custom code to do that.

Thanks

Will respond next week

Hi timwood

Yes, at the moment you'd need to write custom code. Here's the documentation for exclusive mode in Drupal 7 on which 8 is based:
Only LDAP Authentication is allowed except for user 1. If selected, (1) reset password links will be replaced with links to ldap end user documentation below. (2) The reset password form will be left available at user/password for user 1; but no links to it will be provided to anonymous users. (3) Password fields in user profile form will be removed except for user 1.

So it seems this was out-of-scope at least since 7.x-2.x. However, you can probably take a look at the password reset form and without too much effort build a form that triggers a user data update if the mail token is valid.

Marking as fixed since the primary and secondary questions on password synchronization are answered. Should there remain an issue with syncing the password field to LDAP, please open a bug.
