Novell responded explaining why it was different between MIT and
Heimdal and you never responded to that.

I would feel very uncomfortable with the LDAP server updating this
directly.  I think that the right way to handle this would be to
standardize a way for LDAP servers to call out to KDCs to ask them to
update their password attribute.  Possibly the set password protocol
Nico is working on is sufficient; possibly it is not.


I definitely don't want to see this particular attribute modified by
the server.
