Hi,

1) I am trying to change the password of a user at MS ActiveDirectory, from a Java Application. Is it possible?,
because I heard to cheange password, we need to connect via SSL. Is it right?



2) I connected to ActiveDirectory from application, and listed the contents of Users.

My AD is created in this way:

AAA

|_Users

| |_Domain Users

| Contains All user names and active dir folders

|_Computers

I could list the contents of Users, Computers etc (First level)

Now how could I access the details of a user?

Please help.
