Re: LDIFDE Error when trying to change passwords.



Password doesn't work that way. UnicodePwd is just a hash value. Please

I am trying to update user passwords with the LDIFDE tool and I am recieving
an error, I am running a completely patched 2003 server, the Domain Pass
Security is:
Enforce History Not Defined
Max Age Not Defined
Min Age Not Defined
Min Length 6 char
Pass Complexity Disabled
Store Pass Disabled

The file that I am using is:

dn: CN=testyser,OU=example,DC=example,DC=local
changetype: modify
replace: unicodePwd
unicodePwd:cGFzc3dvcmQ=

Everytime I run this I recieve an error:

Connecting to "tldntestjb.techlawtest.local"

Logging in as current user using SSPI

Importing directory from file "changpass.ldif"

Loading entries
1: CN=Jed Baxter,OU=TLI Holdings,DC=techlawtest,DC=local
Entry DN: CN=testuser,OU=exanoke,DC=example,DC=local
changetype: modify
Attribute 0) unicodePwd:cGFzc3dvcmQ=

Add error on line 1: Unwilling To Perform

The server side error is "A device attached to the system is not functioning."

0 entries modified successfully.

An error has occurred in the program

If I use LDIFDE to import a user without the password string the command
completes.

Any help would be appreciated.
