LDAP Auth works fine, PW Change not possible

[f0rd42]

Hi

I have configured a domain for LDAP Auth to an external LDAP.
The test runs fine.

When I try to change a password for a user, Zimbra reports no errors, but also doesn't do anything (not even a connection) to the LDAP Server, hence, doesn't change the password.

Release 6.0.8_GA_2661.RHEL5_64_20100820052503 CentOS5_64 FOSS edition

Am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything. What happens is the password on the Zimbra server gets updated but there's no sync (currently) between that and the external authentication server. There are a couple of threads on this in the forums and a bugzilla RFE for changing the behaviour if you'd care to vote on it.
