Jellyfin LDAP Plugin Change Password Fails

[speatzle]

Did you try to change the admin password? That's not allowed with a password manager permission.

Yes i did, that explains it, Thank you for your help.

I'll make a PR for that after work

It looks like Jellyfin doesn't support the advanced LDAP password modification request. I guess we could add support for password reset through a regular modification operation.

@speatzle can you try changing a password through jellyfin after pulling the latest image?

[speatzle]

@nitnelave I pulled Master and recompiled, it works if you set the Password attribute to userPassword.

But if the bind user only has the group lldap_password_manager it gets a insufficient permissions error. I had to also add the bind user to the lldap_admin group for it to work. Is that intentional?

Did you try to change the admin password? That's not allowed with a password manager permission. You can change any other password, but not admin (to prevent privilege escalations)

Great! Glad to hear that worked :)
Do you think you could update the jellyfin config example to include the password modification configuration?
