Call to DirectoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] {password} ) failing

[Justvicks]

After making a new user and committing I am trying to set the password. I have created the user as:

DirectoryEntry newUser = adUserFolder.Children.Add("CN=" + userInfo.username, "User");

// fill out properties, then commit

Then when calling newUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] {strPassword});

But I am getting the below error message:

InnerException = {"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)":null}

I am connecting to a remote LDAP AD server. When I am connecting to a local server I dont have this issue. I use the default connection AuthenticationTypes. So, is there something different that I have to use than the default, which is my connection:

DirectoryEntry adUserFolder = new DirectoryEntry(strADServerUrl, strADusername, strADpassword);

the strADServerURL looks like this: LDAP://1.2.3.4:389/CN=Users,DC=mywebsite,DC=net

Thank you

You are going to get different results when working locally, some of the password set/change samples which come from a CDO background rely on local working. You need a secure connection for password operations, incase you are running from a computer in the same domain, then you will be able to kerberos

AuthTypes = AuthenticationTypes.Signing |
AuthenticationTypes.Sealing |
AuthenticationTypes.Secure
