Hi All

using the code on http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q269190
I tried to set a user password after creating a user but it returns
error <53> ( on Netscape SDK it is LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM ) And
when i try to change the password i get error <19>
LDAP_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION.

Code is attached along - what mistake am i doing. Using IE i have
checked that the 128 Bit cipher strength is available on both server
and client. What else is needed for the SSL requirement ? I am logged
in as Administrator so thats no problem. Using Win2k Server and
Client.

Any ideas are most welcome.

Hello Salman.

In order for domain controllers to perform LDAP password change requests,
you will need to enable SSL on the domain controllers. This is detailed in
the following article:
247078 HOW TO: Enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Communication over LDAP for
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=247078

This will enable LDAP over SSL on port 636. This is a requirement when
attempting to perform a password change.
