I am configuring a server for JIRA and SVN and planning to use LDAP for easier identity management.
Has anyone come across a reliable app that allows users to change their LDAP passwords? It should let users log in with LDAP credentials and update their password through a form that includes fields for username, old password, new password, and password confirmation.
I’d prefer to use an existing solution rather than creating my own if there’s already something efficient out there.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Have you considered using LDAP Account Manager (LAM)? It’s a comprehensive web-based tool that includes password management functionality. LAM integrates well with various LDAP servers and can be configured to work with JIRA and SVN.
LAM provides a user-friendly interface where users can log in and change their passwords securely. It includes all the fields you mentioned - username, old password, new password, and confirmation. One advantage of LAM is its flexibility; you can customize it to fit your specific requirements.
Implementation is straightforward, but ensure you configure proper access controls and encryption. Also, LAM offers additional features like account management and group administration, which might be useful as your system grows.
While it may have a slightly steeper learning curve than some alternatives, LAM’s robustness and scalability make it a solid choice for long-term LDAP management.
hey, have u tried looking into pwm (password management)? it’s pretty solid for ldap password changes. works great with jira/svn setups. easy to use interface, lets users change passwords securely. might be worth checking out if you haven’t already.
I’ve been in a similar situation and found that Self Service Password (SSP) worked really well for us. It’s a web-based tool that lets users change their LDAP passwords easily. We integrated it with our JIRA and SVN setup without much hassle.
The interface is straightforward - users just log in with their current LDAP credentials and can update their password through a simple form. It has all the fields you mentioned: username, old password, new password, and confirmation.
One thing to watch out for is making sure your security settings are properly configured. We had to tweak a few things to ensure it met our compliance requirements. Also, don’t forget to test thoroughly with different user scenarios before rolling it out.
Overall, SSP saved us a lot of time compared to building something from scratch. Our help desk tickets for password resets dropped significantly after implementation.
