I have found a previous thread on this list concerning the Active
Directory change password facility. This describes using the following
fragment of code to build the Unicode password encoding to pass through
to active directory.
my $charmap = Unicode::Map8->new('latin1');
my $unicodePwd = $charmap->tou('"'.$password.'"')->byteswap()->utf16();
This works for me so long as $password contains ASCII characters.
However if this is a string including for example '£' (english pound
sign) characters then the string encoding sent through to AD contains
something not quite right.
I suspect I need a different charmap but what would be suitable? Am I
right that this is what is wrong?
Howard.
