SambaLMPassword,LDAP and YaST user managment

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer
1

Since we migrated our Samba user accounts from smbpasswd file to LDAP it
is not possible to change user properties (e.g. group membership) with
YaST user managment module. If I want to change an account the error
message “Change the password to create the Samba account”. If I change
the password I can change the user properties. The reason for this
behavior was the missing SambaLMPassword attribute, but I don’t want to
set this weak and deprecated LANManager password.
Is there an configuration option to prevent YaST from using the
SambaMPassword?
