How to Update User Password in OID (single account or bulk) – command line or GUI
Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is LDAP compliant directory server and used to store users with password (optionally) and various other attributes of user (password is stored in userPassword attribute). User password can be updated by
1) Using ODSM (for OID 11g) or OIDMON (for OID 1og)
2) Using ldap command (ldapmodify) with LDIF file (LDAP Data Interchange Format)
.
.
To update OID user password in bulk(multiple users) using ldap command with LDIF file
a) Create LDIF file updatePassword.ldif like
__________
dn: cn=user1,cn=Users,dc=mydomainXX,dc=XXX
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: new_password
dn: cn=user2,cn=Users,dc=mydomainXX,dc=XXX
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: new_password
__________
Replace “dc=mydomainXX,dc=XXX” with OID domain (Realm) under which users are stored.
b) Use LDAPMODIFY command
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -h oid_hostName -p oid_port-D “cn=orcladmin” -w orcladmin_password-f updatePassword.ldif
c) Test if user password is updated successfully
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapbind -h [oid_hostName] -p [oid_port] -D “cn=user1,cn=Users,dc=mydomainXX,dc=XXX” -w new_Password
You should get message “bind successful”
