I am connecting to a MS SQL Server DB on my web server from a VB.net app. I am planning to distribute this software.
SO if I for some reason need to change the DB password, obviously the software won't be able to connect. So how would I go about having the program find the new password and storing it without compromising security?
I'm trying to create a password change form for my company's vendors. There are a couple of scenarios I could encounter doing this:
1 - User enters invalid current password
2 - New passwords do not match
3 - User's account is locked
4 - User cannot authenticate because password is expired
It's case 4 that I'm struggling with, because their is no way for me to take the password the user entered and verify it against active directory without getting an error.
I use Vb.NET from VS 2010 I use a SQL File to run a script, when changes to the database should be done.This works fine for me. The SQL File is in my project and marked as embedded file.Now I run into an issue. I have to change the user name, when updating a Trigger or SP (for complete information: I use mySQL and 3rd Party Script component)So, I thought, I write the embedded file into a Temp-File, make the changes to the file, run the temp file through the script component and then delete the file.

I am using the above code to allow a user to change the AD password via an application, this is just a sample of the problem code.The error it is generating is that the password is not complex enough, and it does not matter what I put in the new password, it always reports "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)" I have tried it as user@domain domainuser I have then tested on one of the domain computers the same password and it changed there without issue.So I can only assume the error message is incorrect.I have tried several combination's of samples on line and they all seem to point back to this as the proper method, I feel certain I am overlooking something.

View 3 RepliesI am using a Formview for Change Password funciton in my project. It works OK with update and validations.I am now trying to add code for Strong Password as follows:
Private Sub FormView1_ItemUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles FormView1.ItemUpdating
Dim password As String = CType(FormView1.FindControl("PasswordTextBox"), TextBox).Text
Dim score As PasswordScore = PasswordAdvisor.CheckStrength(password)

In the class, the Match.Success always returns "False" and also, irrespective of the validity of the password entered, it gets updated in the database. Is there any way to control the Update function of Formview, so that the password is updated only if it is valid?
I'm trying to change the password of an AD account in our domain. The program is supposed to locate the sAMAccountName property in AD through an LDAP connection, and then do two things. 1) unlock the user's account by setting the "LockOutTime" property to zero and 2) change the password to a pre-defined password in the code. I've got the program unlocking accounts, but I can't get it to change passwords.
I've tried the line "DirectoryEntry.Properties("userPassword").Value = "xxxxx". I've also tried the DirectoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", New Object() {"xxxxx"}) but neither of them work. The first one throws no exceptions but doesn't change the password, and the second one will give me the message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
