Hi everybody,
To ldap knowledgeable among you i got a question about creating a bind 
user that would have one, single, extra right besides lookup - changing 
passwords. Some web applications (owncloud, wordpress, gnusocial) give 
users ability to change there own passwords. When connected to 
(kolab/389) ldap through bind user they loose this possibility. I was 
thinking to create new (bind) user that would have extra right to change 
password.
I was thinking to create a user in "Special Users" ou, but have no idea 
how. Then i tried to create new user object type with extra 
passwordPolicy object class. Adding new password related 
(passwordChange) attribute, thinking that this would give user of this 
type ability to manipulate passwords. But i was wrong :)...
So if you could give me some quick tips on how to approach this, would 
be great.
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai
