!!Changing Password From LDIF
Edirectory may require that the old password be provided for a password change event to take place when done by the user.

This maybe done by one of the following methods.
Create a LDIF file similar to the one provided below.
{{{
   dn: cn=youradmin,ou=app1,ou=Applications,dc=willeke,dc=com
    changetype: modify
    delete: userpassword
    userpassword: currentpasswordvalue
    -
    add: userpassword
    userpassword: newpasswordvalue
}}}

The LDIF file need to be submitted to the LDAP server in the environment you are connecting using.
