Re: modifica password user Active Directory Constraint Violation

I hear you. I was just telling him how to do it since he asked. I wasn't
recommending it to everyone.

I actually don't think ldp is that much more dangerous than the other
management tools if you are using a highly privileged user (DA, etc.), but
that's nitpicking.

ldp was originally written by someone at MS (an intern I think) who was
trying to learn LDAP programming with the LDAP API (wldap32.dll). This
person essentially built a GUI tool that allows you to enter raw LDAP
queries and see the results. This has in turn become incredibly useful for
everyone else who is trying to learn LDAP programming, and to this day I
believe that is the number one reason it is used. That's why I use it and
recommend it. :) I think it is also used by savvy admins sometimes, but I
think that's more rare, as it isn't terrifically appealing to most people.

Good point: You can use it for that though it is decidedly not normal.

I, however, wouldn't recommend it to everyone as you can do some
interesting
and suprising damage to the directory if you're not careful. It is
incredibly powerful.

I always use ldp for changing passwords when I use a GUI tool, but then
again I use ldp for everything, so I'm not normal. :)

I provided the instructions for doing this in my other post. It isn't a
big
deal to do.

Davide,

Generally you don't want to use ldp to change user passwords. Usually
this
utility is only for advanced troubleshooting or delicate repair of some
kinds
of domain problems.

Is there a reason why you have to use ldp for this? You should be able
to
do this through the Active Directory Users and Computers.

I am sorry, my Italian is good enough to read this, but not reply.

Salve,
cercando di modificare la password di un utente tramite ldp.exe e
l'account di Administrator ottengo il seguente errore

***Call Modify...
ldap_modify_ext_s(ld, 'CN=Davide Pelosi,OU=efsa,DC=scuola,DC=local',
[1] attrs, SvrCtrls, ClntCtrls);
Error: Modify: Violazione delle limitazioni. <19>

Dopo lunghe ricerche non riesco a venirne a capo.

ldp si connette in ssl ed esegue correttamente il bind, ma non c'e'
verso di modificare la password, ne con il replace, ne con la coppia
delete-add.

Vi ringrazio per l'aiuto,
Davide
