Active Directory - Reset password

[bud80]

I made an application with asp.net 2.0 (c#) to manage users in active directory. I need to reset the user's password and at the first access The system have to ask me to change the password. Any Idea?

Well dude, its not clear what you're asking, I mean - is the question how to create a unique password ? in that case you can use the create a unique ID using the .NET's GUID or the logic of how to know if he is entering on the first time... in that case you can use a boolean flag in the database, say "IsFirstTimer" that is set to True at first and then set to False or did you have a different question :confused:

I try to explain better.. With my application i can create user and store it to active directory. I set for the user a default password. With this credentials user can login into Windows: if it's the first access, Windows ask to change the password. If a user losts the password, my application allow to reset it, and set a new default password. Now when the user login into Windows, the system have to re-ask to change the password... How can I do this? The code to reset the password is below DirectoryEntry uEntry = GetDirectoryEntry(Path); uEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "NewPassword"}); uEntry.Properties["LockOutTime"].Value = 0; //unlock account int flags = (int)uEntry.Properties["userAccountControl"][0]; uEntry.Properties["pwdLastSet"].Value = -1; uEntry.CommitChanges(); uEntry.Close();
