I have a basic LDAP setup without SSL configured. Users are able to login but not able to change their password using passwd command. I have gone though many blogs but no luck. I have disabled selinux and iptables.

Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Details below,

OS: CentOS6.5
LDAP version: openldap-servers-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64
Client version: openldap-clients-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64

Output from the terminal when trying to change the password:

[servername ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user dkrishna.
Enter login(LDAP) password:
New password:
Retype new password:
LDAP password information update failed: Insufficient access
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

Below are the logs,

==> /var/log/secure <==

Oct  8 09:31:33  passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user "dkrishna" does not exist in /etc/passwd
Oct  8 09:31:42  passwd: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user "dkrishna" does not exist in /etc/passwd

==> /var/log/messages <==

Oct  8 09:31:42  passwd: pam_ldap: ldap_modify_s Insufficient access

ACL's configured as below,

database config
access to *
        by dn.exact="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" manage
        by * none

database monitor
access to *
        by dn.exact="gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" read
        by dn.exact="cn=admin,dc=tibbr,dc=com" read
        by * none

access to attrs=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by users none

access to * by * read

I found the solution:

Add the following two lines to the end of the file: oclDatabase\=\{2\}bdb.ldif

olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword by self write by dn.base="cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=com" write by anonymous auth by * none

olcAccess: {1}to * by dn.base="cn=Manager,dc=domain,dc=com" write by self write by * read

bye
