DESCRIPTION
llddaappppaasssswwdd is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user. llddaappppaasssswwdd
uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.
llddaappppaasssswwdd sets the password of associated with the user [or an option-
ally specified user]. If the new password is not specified on the com-
mand line and the user doesn't enable prompting, the server will be
asked to generate a password for the user.
llddaappppaasssswwdd is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for
ppaasssswwdd(1) and should not be installed as such.

password on the command line.
