RE: Changing a user password via LDAP in Active Directory

[Edgington, J. A. <je...@um...>]

I too have the same reasoning for not using ADSI... we are mixed environment
and I would prefer to keep my scripts as mobile as possible.

I ran into the same problem last week and sidestepped it by creating my own
password attribute. (Same problem with the ACL attribute). If you (or
anyone) find a way to do it with Net::LDAP, please share! I'm pretty sure
that you could use ADSI to access the password attribute, but I'm not sure.
I didn't explore the possibility too deeply because I wanted to avoid
making my code AD-specific.

Embrace and extend? Grr.

I can change everything else about a user via Net::LDAP except the
password.
I haven't had much luck finding anything on the MS web site about this.

If someone has successfully done this via Net::LDAP, I would greatly
appreciate some guidance.

Thanks.
