update user password

georgy Aug 10, 2007 8:50 AM

I try to modify an user password. To do so i use the updatePassword() method of interface User :

...
/*the user module class is LDAPExtUserModuleImpl
authentication is done against AD with LdapExtLoginModule*/


user.updatePassword(newPassword)
...

It doesn't seem to work since the user password does not change.
I don't see any exceptions/errors.

Can anybody help me?

JBOSS Portal 2.6.1.GA
Win xp

Did you check in server.log as well ?

As far as I know MSAD requires you to have SSL connection to LDAP to alter password attribute.
I have never tried to setup this so please let me know if it works for you.

I'm assuming you have customized login-config.xml.

Did you config jboss-service.xml and then ldap_identity-config.xml?

jboss-portal.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml
jboss-portal.sar\conf\ldap_identity-config.xml

In the first file you should change the ConfigFile attribute for the "portal:service=Module,type=IdentityServiceController" mbean to be the second file ("conf/identity/ldap_identity-config.xml"). Then in the identity file you need to enter in some of the same information you used in the login-config.xml.

Searching those file names should lead to documentation.
