Hey,

maybe you have enabled LDAP for your users? In this case i don’t think that you can change the password from within ownCloud.

we have activated the built in Own Cloud LDAP Service …and it counts all users … fine

The LDAP Server is the same machine as the own cloud appliance …

It seems to be i access rights problem within the ldap server … but i don´t know where to search …

Hey,

as written previously i don’t think that LDAP users can change their passwords from within ownCloud. It seems to me that the following documentation confirms this as changing a password is probably also a write operation:

Only read access to your LDAP (edit or delete of users on your LDAP is not supported)

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.2/admin_manual/configuration/user/user_auth_ldap.html

Hi,

It looks like your using an appliance, which is using the UCS’s LDAP backend for user administration.
Log in to the UCS appliance’s administration web UI instead of the ownCloud web UI to adjust passwords, or generate new accounts.

In our appliance documentation is only an explanation how to create new users and groups but in the same interface you should be able to change passwords:
