ldappasswd
is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.
ldappasswd
uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.
ldappasswd
sets the password of associated with the user [or an optionally
specified
user].
If the new
password is not specified on the command line and the user
doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate
a password for the user.
ldappasswd
is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for
passwd(1)
and should not be installed as such.

This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
