Tips when resetting University of Luxembourg Active Directory password on a Mac#

To reset your UL AD password when using a Mac:

  1. Go to https://owa.uni.lu and change your password there.
  2. Before rebooting your Mac, you should change your keychain password to avoid any issues down the road. To do so, run the following command security set-keychain-password "/Users/YOURHOME/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db"
  3. If you use FileVault, after the first reboot, first enter your old password, then the new one. Normally, FileVault will sync and update with your new password after you reboot.
