1: LDAP password change problem (OACS 5.2)

We have implemented LDAP integration with OACS 5.2.
Problem: User can not change password when OACS set to LDAP Authority for authentication.
Error: "Current password incorrect"

This does only occures with LDAP Authority.

Any ideas?

If you are using an external LDAP service for authentication, is this not a good thing? They users should be changing their passwords on that service, not openacs?

What did you do to set up LDAP in openacs?

Found problem in auth-ldap package (auth-ldap-procs.tcl)

old_password and new_password parameter must be reveresed in order for this proc to work.

ad_proc -private auth::ldap::password::ChangePassword {
username
new_password
old_password
