User Password Management in Nextcloud with LDAP

🌐 International support

Hello,
We are running Nextcloud version 31.0.8 integrated with Active Directory (LDAP). User authentication works correctly, but we now need to allow employees to change their passwords.

Could you please clarify the following:

  1. Is it possible for users to change their passwords directly through the Nextcloud interface when using AD/LDAP?

  2. If yes, which modules or configuration settings need to be enabled or adjusted?

  3. If not, what alternative solutions do you recommend to allow users to securely change their passwords?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

It is possible, yes. However, it supports only cleartext passwords, which AD is not supporting without some extra hassle.

You are better of with the external password app: External Password - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud where you can redirect users to a webbased password self service portal.
