Overview

Add this module when you reset a password in Microsoft Active Directory.

This module must be used if you want to reset a password in Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Since AD have some specific configuration regarding passwords that is different from other LDAP directories we have created this module to handle this.

Example of AD specific configuration is password history, complexity, account lockout and change password at next login.

The ADResetClient module is very similar to the LdapClient module that is used for LDAPSearch for example, however it is not a module to use instead of the LdapClient module. In your configuration you will likely have both module available.

There are very few configuration parameters available with this module. The properties mentioned below is when you like to do something as well as resetting the password to the AD account. For example, unlock a locked account or force the user to change password at next logon.
