How to set an Active Directory password through Directory Integrator

To set an Active Directory password with Directory integrator, you must check the “Auto Map AD Password” checkbox on the configuration tab. It took me many hours of research the proper encoding before I found out that this checkbox does it all for you. Ugh.

Also, you must be communicating through SSL (check the “Use SSL” option and change the port to 636).

Also, you must first create the account as disabled, without a password, and then update it to have a password and enable it.

When you set the userPassword attribute with the “Auto Map AD Password” checkbox checked, Directory Integrator automatically takes your password, surrounds it with double quotes, converts it to unicode, and sets the unicodePwd attribute instead. It also has to convert it to base64, but I believe that is part of the standard LDAP interface for all attributes.

    Link Critiera: uid equals $uid (where the “uid” work attribute was set earlier in the assembly line)

    Output Map: userPassword -> the new password (in plain text)
