Hi!
I'm using Samba in an AD setup, (version 4.2.0) and I'm looking for a way to
change the password of a user from the command line, as a non-root user.
I know I can use 'smbpasswd', 'samba-tool user setpassword', or 'samba-tool
user password', but these all seem to require root privileges. When I run
them as root, they work, but when I run them as non-root user, I get:
user1a at test-s4ad:~$ smbpasswd -U dago
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
SAMR connection to machine NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED failed. Error was 127.0.0.1, but LANMAN password changes are disabled
or
user1a at test-s4ad:~$ samba-tool user password -U dago
Password for [S4\dago]:
New Password:
Retype Password:
ERROR: Failed to change password : samr_ChangePasswordUser3 for 'S4\dago' failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
So, is there a possibility to change the password of one user with a
commandline tool run by another user (provided he has the old password, of
course)?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
PS: In case it matters, my (stripped down) smb.conf is:
[global]
workgroup = S4
realm = s4.local
netbios name = TEST-S4AD
server string = test-s4ad
server role = active directory domain controller
server role check:inhibit = yes
server services = s3fs rpc wrepl ldap cldap kdc drepl winbind ntp_signd kcc dnsupdate dns
security = auto
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
interfaces = 192.168.3.3/24 127.255.255.255/8
bind interfaces only = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 LOCAL/unixdom
dns forwarder = 127.0.0.2
I've already tried adding:
lanman auth = Yes
client lanman auth = Yes
but that didn't change anything.
