> Modifies the password of a specific LDAP entry


## Description

This step is used to change the password of an existing entry in an external LDAP or Active Directory. Other journey steps may be used to add entries, bind entries, delete entries, modify entries, or search entries.

You can specify the LDAP by selecting either an LDAP connection or Active Directory connection. The LDAP entry to modify is specified by the DN (distinguished name). The new password is specified using an expression.

If the step is successfully completed, the journey continues to the next step, and result data is outputted to a specified variable (if configured).
