Title: Password problems

IT works for me :-).  Try changing the flag value from "4" to "0".  4 says you don't require a writeable replica, 0 says "there is no flag value".  Note that you don't need to specify the server if the target domain is in the local forest.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Password problems

I have maked an authentified site using Active Directory. This site has the option to send the password to the user if he has forgotten it.

My problem is that I can't get the password from active directory (because it's impossible not?) and I had mint set a temp password to the user and send it. But then I can't use the ChangePassword method because I have to give it the actual password and I haven't it. Then I only can use the SetPassword method but it gives me an error of "Permission denied".

I bind to the LDAP using an user and password of an administrator but it doesn't function.

The code is:

Set dso = GetObject("LDAP:")
strDNGroup = "CN=ponce,OU=SupplierAd,OU=MSCS_40_Root,DC=eRestaura,DC=com"
Set user = dso.opendsobject("LDAP://erestaura/" & strDNGroup, ADM_USER, ADM_PWD, 4)
user.SetPassword NewPassword

---

In the last line is where the error occurs.

Does someone know which would be the problem?  or another solution for retrieving the password...

Thanks.
