C# ADAM set userPassord Attribute

[DragonLord]

I am having a weird problem.

I have used the following to set the userpassword with a byte array string and while I am not getting an error when I open adam it says the userPassword attribute for the user is <not set>

Can anyone help or guide me?

_PEnt.Properties["userPassword"].Clear();
_PEnt.Properties["userPassword"].Value = myHexString;

Any thoughts anyone?

Well thanks for all the replies lol......

Since I had to figure this one out myself i thought I would be nice and share the answer to anyone else that might come across this same issue.

 
public void SetPassword(DirectoryEntry _PEnt)
    {
        String UserPath = "LDAP://localhost:10389/CN= " + FirstName + " " + LastName + ",CN=GeneralUsers,cn=myapplication,c=CAN";
        DirectoryEntry _PWDUser = new DirectoryEntry(UserPath);
 
        _PWDUser.Options.PasswordPort = 10389;
        _PWDUser.Options.PasswordEncoding = PasswordEncodingMethod.PasswordEncodingClear;
        _PWDUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { Password });
        _PWDUser.Properties["msDS-UserAccountDisabled"].Value = false;
 
    }
 

The key is the options part. for some reason without this it just wasn't saving the user password and because it is a read only property and not visible through ADAM it was a pain in my butt...
