RE: Re: Change password remotely by users

That's sweet! Would you mind sharing what the LDAP URL in your Apache
config file looked like? I've been trying to do the same thing to no
avail, and I'm not sure why, but I haven't been able to get much
assistance from my IT gurus (I'm just a lowly developer trying to keep
track of the development work going on in my department, and trying to
admin our SVN server in spite of my IT department)...

Thanks,
Wes

Thanks to my new friends (those who helped me...thx!) on this list, we
are now using subversion over apache, and using apache's mod_auth_ldap
to authenticate our users through the LDAP interface of Active
Directory. As such, users continue to manage their passwords as normal
on the windows domain.
