I have 4 issues which I do not understand and I have searched the
Net::LDAP documentation up and down and cannot figure it out.
1. pwdLastSet is only available for the DN of the user who is logged
in. (That seems a little odd, why is that?) and yes I logged in as
another user using LDAP and it was available for them and not me.
2. pwdLastSet is some Active Directory timestamp (Why oh why cant
Microsoft just use utc like every other application on the planet.). Is
there a function included with Net::LDAP to convert this number into
utc. So I can tell when the user last set their password in meaningful
terms in perl on linux.
3. I have real difficult with determining the DN. In my program you
can see that I looked at the Server Level DN(At least that is what I
think it is. I got it by seeing what I was a member of. My sysadmin for
Active Directory told me my DN to start). If I knew my login name is
there a way I can find my DN easily.
4. I do not seem to be able to set the value of unicodePwd even though
I can change my own password in Active Directory.
Any help is appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------
When the time comes and my password is going to expire I can set my
password leading me to believe that I can change my own password and my
sysadmin for Active directory swears up and down that each user has the
rights to modify their own password. And I suspect maybe the password is
not in unicodePwd field as suggested because I do not see that field
when I list all the properties of my DN.
Or maybe its hidden for security reasons?
And I get the following Access rights Violation error.
