@dwade0o ; I think user_dn is not a username because username it came from sAMAccountName. So user_dn is distinguishedName of entry
@artschwagerb: can you please provide an explanation, on how it works. I am able to change LDAP password using "ldappasswd" (using ldap-utils). I want to do the same using python function. I am unable to understand your code. Useful pointers would be helpful. Thanks!

Is user_dn meaning username?
