[Samba] Changing active directory user password via LDAP

[Tadas]

Thanks everyone for a support.

Here's a working shell script:

#!/bin/bash
password=test
password='"'$password'"'
u16pass=`printf $password|iconv -f ascii -t UTF16LE|base64`
echo "dn: CN=John Smith,cn=Users,DC=domain,DC=com" >ldap.ldif
echo "changetype: modify" >>ldap.ldif
echo "replace: unicodePwd" >>ldap.ldif
echo "unicodePwd:: $u16pass" >>ldap.ldif
ldapmodify -v -c -a -f ldap.ldif -H ldaps://server.domain.com -D
administrator at domain.com -W
rm ldap.ldif
