Hi people, Does anyone have some idea how to get the password of an active
directory user?
I tried using the DirectorySearch er object to find the user and the
DirectoryEntry. Password property to get the value, but always returns "null"
and I'm totally sure that the password is not null
thanks

I am not 100% sure but I believe that the password is stored only after it
has been encrypted and the encryption is one way.
To validate a user it takes the password they enter in, encrypts it and then
compares the encrypted results to make sure they match.
This is why the only option an admin has for a person that forgot their
password it to rest it to something instead of telling the user what it is
currently set to.

The documentation is somewhat misleading. The Password property is used for validating user
credentials and not for retrieving a use's password from AD.

My situation is the following:
1- I need to change the user password programatically , without the Active
Directory Snap-in (MMC)
2- The application is going to be used by an administrator that shouldn't
know the users passowords
3- I tried with setting the Password property of the DirectoryEntry object
and doesn't throws any exception, but never really change the password, so I
tried
with directoryEntry. Invoke("ChangeP assword", new object[] {oldPwd,newPwd });
and works fine, but I have to give the current password
If someone can give any idea how to do that I'll thank you a lot

You should Invoke "SetPasswor d" to reset a password.
.....
directoryEntry. Invoke("SetPass word", new object[] {newPasswd});

Hi,
I'm trying to make a php message board on our company's Intranet that
can only be edited by a specific user group. The group "writers" is
managed in active directory.
Is it possible to automatically check if the user that is logged in to
windows and is watching the site is a part of the group "writers"? And
if that user is a part of writers then an "Edit" button would be
displayed on the site. The intranet site runs on Apache 2.2
