Moodle attempting to change password

We have our moodle environment set to authenticate against LDAP. (Moodle version 3.8.1)
When a user's password is about expire, moodle sends a popup stating that
"Your password will expire in 6 days. Do you want to change your password now?
with the options to Click Continue or Cancel

Naturally, the user clicks Continue, whereupon they receive a notice that


We have set the forgot password URL to our external password recovery site but have yet to find where
the default password reset url gets defined.

Unfortunately, even though we plaster instructions about passwords all over the login page, no-one reads them
and they naturally click the continue button.
Eventually their network password expires and they end up going to helpdesk after the account has been locked.

Does anyone have a suggestion of how we can fix this?
Thanks!!

I haven’t used LDAP auth for a while - Emma Richardson will be of much more help - but have you checked your config against the docs at https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/LDAP_authentication#LDAP_password_expiration_settings

I seem to recall that you can choose whether Moodle is allowed to change an LDAP password or not.

Actually I don't think this is an ldap issue but more of a password change url issue. There are two places to set this. One is on the manage authentication page and one is in the ldap settings. Try setting them both and see if that fixes is.
