Hi,

According to my experience with AD this is very hard to diagnose. AD is using "unwilling to perform" as a generic error for almost anything. Sometimes there is a AD-specific error code in the error message and that is really worth checking out. Really. Try that. But apart from this there is no way how to diagnose that properly. There seems to be no reasonable logging facility on the AD server side. I'm looking for this for years and I have found nothing so far (Microsoft support is not able help much, I've tried many times). The documentation is not very clear.

The best method so far that I have found is to find a tool that can already use this control. Then use packet sniffer and compare the data from the tool that works with the data produced by your code. I mean real byte-by-byte comparison. The differences will usually point you to the things that are wrong.

Thanks Shawn, I was going to ask that.  But I got wireshark working.  Below is

It will take some changes to get a wireshark capture, since Password's can only

Wonder if it would be easier to just enable the API logger containing the BER 
request/response traces?  That’s typically how I debug.  Saves the trouble of 
setting up wireshark.
