Thanks Ben,
If the user must change password at next logon I got the same exception
executing the following line:
SearchResult result = search.FindOne();
otherwise if the user is not forced to change password, I got a
System.UnauthorizedAccessException ("Access is denied.")
executing the following line of code:
objUser.SetPassword("newpassword");
This is different from using only DirectoryEntry:
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry();
de.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind |
AuthenticationTypes.Secure;
de.Path = "LDAP://10.0.50.20/cn=fv,cn=users,dc=newtesthp,dc=com";
de.Username = "cn=fv,cn=users,dc=newtesthp,dc=com";
de.Password = "fv";
de.Invoke("changepassword",new object[]{"fv","q1w2q1w2q1"});
de.CommitChanges();
If the user must change password at next logon I always got the same
exception (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password)
executing the following line:
de.Invoke("changepassword",new object[]{"fv","q1w2q1w2q1"});
otherwise if the user is not forced to change password, I am able to change
the password.
I think that the only solution is,on failure, to try to change the password
with NetUserChangePassword.
This is not what I liked to do but I don't see any other solution.
What do you think about it?
