Hi,

Yesterday morning I switched https://panel.bitfolk.com to use a pair
of replicated LDAP servers instead of just the one, so that it would
still work if the LDAP server was down.

Only today I noticed that password changes were being accepted but
not applied because Net::LDAP does not automatically follow
referrals. The consumer (slave) LDAP is read-only and refers updates
to the provider.

I have now reverted configuration so that only the provider server
is used, until I can write the code to manually follow referrals.

If you changed your password via the panel web site in the last
36-ish hours, you may want to check that it's actually taken effect.
Changes from the Xen Shell (ssh
username@???) will have been processed
properly.

Apologies for the confusion.

Cheers,
Andy

Of course not. Everyone knows you can't have your kayak and heat it.
