Thanks, that's good information. I'll explore a bit. -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 1:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: LDAP passwords
You need a SSL certificate to do this securely with LDAP. I, personally, think that is overkill. However, the LDAP attribute is unicodePwd or something similar. This is how I do it on the Windows platform: I run ColdFusion as an domain account that is also an Account Operator (has permissions to change passwords, among other things.) Then, I use CFEXECUTE to call the NET USER command with the proper arguments to change the user's password. It is very easy and works quite well. When I create new accounts and need to set a password, I use a custom COM object I built that does it all.

When I dump the entire record for a user I don't see any column hinting at password so I'm assuming the answer no, but I thought I'd throw it out to the group before dismissing it entirely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:200058 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
