      Description

      Currently the LDAP auth backend is only able to change passwords if you are using Novell eDirectory or some OpenLDAP compatible server, but not if using MS Active Directory.

      This patch adds support for that LDAP server. It assumes you have configured a LDAP+SSL connection to your AD server (otherwise AD doesn't allow any operation that modifies the directory) and that you are binding to AD with an account that has the right to reset other users' passwords.

      Saludos. Iñaki.
