I am using advapi32.dll and kernal32.dll in my web application and I am getting “BadPassword” exception while changing the default/temporary password. This exception is not consistent.
The scenario is the application hosted in Server1 and the Active Directory in Server2.
entry.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] { oldpassword.Text.ToString(), newpassword.Text.ToString() });
entry.CommitChanges();
output.Text += "Password is changed";
}
catch (Exception)
{
output.Text += " Password couldn't be changed due to restrictions<b>";
}
}
else
{
output.Text += "<BR> User not found or bad password";
}
}
else
{
output.Text += "<BR>Passwords don't match";
}

Hi selvakumarbalan
You can try change Passwords With Active Directory using LDAP path,
if (newpassword.Text.ToString() == checknewpassword.Text.ToString())
{
// Just fetch the user's XXXX\xxx login name
SPWeb webContext = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
string strLoginName = webContext.CurrentUser.LoginName;
int iPosition = strLoginName.IndexOf("\\") + 1;
strLoginName = strLoginName.Substring(iPosition);
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://blfoley.local", strLoginName, oldpassword.Text.ToString(),AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
search.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + strLoginName + ")";
search.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
search.CacheResults = false;
SearchResultCollection results = search.FindAll();
if (results.Count > 0)
{
foreach (SearchResult result in results)
{
try
{
entry = result.GetDirectoryEntry();
}
catch (Exception error)
{
output.Text += "" + error.Message.ToString();
}
}
try
{
entry.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] { oldpassword.Text.ToString(), newpassword.Text.ToString() });
entry.CommitChanges();
output.Text += "Password is changed";
}
catch (Exception)
{
output.Text += " Password couldn't be changed due to restrictions<b>";
}
}
else
{
output.Text += "<BR> User not found or bad password";
}
}
else
{
output.Text += "<BR>Passwords don't match";
}
