i am writing a tiny application which generates new accounts from an existent department's database. This is a school and i have to create several hundred accounts per year, so i think it's worth the effort.
As i write this app in Java (I just happen to be best in Java not C or Perl), i would like to do as much as possible in Java without invoking external scripts. Alas i do not know how to generate the NTLM-hashes from cleartext passwords. I didn't find a solution in the jCIFS project - did i overlook something?
Maybe i should port the routines from Samba sources to java which should not be too difficult (I assume there are no system dependend parts) - any hints where to look? smbpasswd.c?
At the end i would like to have an ldap-entry with all relevant attributes so that i do not have to invoke smbpasswd et al.
Thanks a lot for any help or comments, Malte Mueller (who can not attend the sambaXP this year, sadly) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
