Functionality in Active Directory Driver

Articles and Tips: qna

Q.

I am trying to get some functionality to work with the Active Directory (AD) DirXML Driver. I am interested in the "User Cannot Change Password," which is a part of the user's AD account property pages. It corresponds to UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE (0x0040) in userAccountControl.

Referencing the Microsoft Web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netdir/adsi/user_cannot_change_password.asp , apparently this flag is not able to be set directly. How do I control it in the DirXML subscriber channel? Can the AD driver write to the ACL?

Dear ADing: Unfortunately the current version of the DirXML driver for Active Directory does not contain this functionality. You would be best advised to contact Novell's Technical Support Group to see about getting this functionality included in a future version of the driver.
