Recently, on the norwegian user list, the wish for delegating access to change passwords have been expressed. As far as I know such delegation need to be fixed in the LDAP database (slapd) with the current design of the user database in Debian Edu. The plan for a long term solution for this problem is to start using Cerebrum, which give us more control over the access rights and the possibility to grant access to subgroups.
But Cerebrum isn't ready to go into Debian Edu yet, and it would be nice if we could find some short term solution as well. Is it possible to adjust the current LDAP configuration to grant password change access to a group of LDAP users? I would like to grant such access to all users in the teacher group. I suspect this is impossible without changing the structure of the LDAP tree, and we do not want to do that as it would make the existing installations incompatible.
