It simply does not work (you can then use the serversetup command
line utility and you see that the new password is not accepted).
If it worked, one might write a plugin for Squirrelmail.
This does work, provided you have netinfo accounts for the users
I do
Obviously if your user accounts are in LDAP
They aren't
then this should not be expected to work and you're guilty of
sloppy thinking.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Look:
1. First I create a brand new user in Workgroup Mgr as
email@hidden. Password is "test". No shell, no homedir, no
print quota, no file server access, just email.
2. I check that is works:
mail:~ root# /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -
verifyNamePassword email@hidden test
1
3. I try to change the password via niutil:
mail:~ root# niutil -destroyprop / /users/passwordaccomazzinet passwd
mail:~ root# openssl passwd -crypt 12345
gQwpvCLCiBzLg
mail:~ root# niutil -createprop / /users/passwordaccomazzinet passwd
gQwpvCLCiBzLg
4. Even though I got no error, I recheck everything:
niutil -readprop / /users/passwordaccomazzinet passwd
gQwpvCLCiBzLg
5. It looks like it worked, but:
mail:~ root# /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -
verifyNamePassword email@hidden 12345
0
It doesn't. ("Zero" means "wrong password" in serversetup. See http://
images.apple.com/server/pdfs/Command_Line_v10.4_2nd_Ed.pdf)
