As of 2019 we use FreeIPA instead of LDAP so this guide is incorrect.

Run ldapmodify -x -W -D 'uid=USERNAME,ou=People,dc=vtluug,dc=org', where USERNAME is your username.
You will be prompted for your password, enter it.
Now type the following:

dn: uid=USERNAME,ou=People,dc=vtluug,dc=org
changetype: modify
replace: loginShell
loginShell: /bin/zsh

Replace USERNAME with your username, and replace /bin/zsh with your desired shell if zsh isn't what you want.

Press Ctrl-D, wait about 10 minutes, then log back in. Your new shell should work.
