RE: Problems with creating a user password

[Paul Connolly]

The password attribute in Active Directory is unicodePwd (in objectClass
securityPrincipal) and not userPassword. Note that you can only perform
LDAP operations on unicodePwd if SSL is being used.

Subject: Problems with creating a user password

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to create a new user. It is disabled, but I managed to enable
him by setting his 'userAccountControl' to 544. I also want to change
his password which is an empty one by default. But I really cannot find
how to do this with Net::LDAP and PERL. I tried the following : 

 

my $newentry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new;

my $dn="cn=cmoreno,ou=Users,ou=rahtest,dc=XXX,dc=XXX,dc=XXX";

 

$newentry->add('cn' => 'cmoreno');

$newentry->dn("$dn");

$newentry->add('displayName' => 'Chino Moreno');

$newentry->add('sn' => 'moreno');

$newentry->add('sAMAccountName' => 'cmoreno');

$newentry->add('mail' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

$newentry->add('userPrincipalName' => 'cmoreno');

$newentry->add('givenName' => 'Chino');

$newentry->add('userPassword' => 'azerty-4-4);

$newentry->add('objectclass' => 'user');

my $mesg = $ldap->add($newentry);

$newentry->update($ldap);

 

Can anyone help me please?
