You need a SSL certificate to do this securely with LDAP. I, personally, think that is overkill.
However, the LDAP attribute is unicodePwd or something similar. This is how I do it on the Windows platform: I run ColdFusion as an domain account that is also an Account Operator (has permissions to change passwords, among other things.) Then, I use CFEXECUTE to call the NET USER command with the proper arguments to change the user's password. It is very easy and works quite well. When I create new accounts and need to set a password, I use a custom COM object I built that does it all.

When I dump the entire record for a user I don't see any column hinting at password so I'm assuming the answer no, but I thought I'd throw it out to the group before dismissing it entirely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
