Hello Mlaurent,

You can't - the password is not readable.

The two major workarounds are
- There are directory synchronisation products out there which require
that the change of the password is made with a customized dialog - they
either exchange the default dialog or require the user to change the
password on a web page. Then they are populating the password in Active
Directory (and the other directories where you want it).
- Use the Microsoft Identity Management Server (MIIS) with SP1 - it's
able to catch the password right away when it's changed, and pushes it
into the connected (LDAP or whatever you like) directories.

Could you give me some name of these synchronisation products ?

I learned also that it was possible with windows 2000 server to modify
directly Active Directory passwords with LDAP commands under a SSL
connection : if this possible again with Windows 2003 server ?

If positive response, where can i find the active directory schema (in
order to know AD attributes) ?

Thx
