Thanks Mesut,
I think I am almost get it.
What am I supposed to enter for LDAP passwd?


sangho at external2:~$ ldappasswd -x -W -S -D 
"uid=sangho,ou=people,dc=orbit-lab,de
=org"-H ldap://ldap.orbit-lab.org
New password:
Re-enter new password:
*Enter LDAP Password: ????????*
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)


- Sangho
