I'm not sure I explained myself clearly. I'm not trying to change
passwords nor to allow users to change their password either. What I
try to know is if it is possible to transfer encrypted password from
an LDAP server ( from SUN, Netscape or from some other flavor ) in AD,
meaning that I don't know the passwords in clear text. In other words
is AD capable of understanding the {type of encryption}encrypted
pasword or not.
