Description

As an alternative to disable accounts (spam accounts), it may be useful to know how to trigger a password reset (and have the new password sent to the user). It should be documented on https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:LDAP

Or better, _provide_ a password reset tool, as it is currently not available.

How to change a user's password: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-change-account-passwords-on-an-openldap-server

We want to document that on the wiki (how to change a user password), then provide a tool to set a new password and mail it to the user.

I wrote a script and put it on the www.osgeo.org machine. Instructions on the wiki: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:LDAP#Editing_the_LDAP_database
