Re: Get user password in Active Directory

why not just using ldap to validate the account ?

As you are using .Net, you can even use integrated authentification, which is far better from a user experience perspective !

Thanks for your response, but by programming, only by programming, I need to
know how to get the encrypted user password in Active Directory and then save
it into a database.

By this way, when an user log on into my application, I'll try to encrypt
the password manually introduced and I'll compare it with the other one saved
into the database.

Regards.

Hello,

tools exist. They dump the AD database from DC.

What are you trying to achieve ?
