I'm using Active Directory and want to set the User's password via JNDI. For
that I have to set the "unicodePwd"-attribute.

The problem: The attribute has to be formatted

The MSDN writes:
"The syntax of the unicodePwd attribute is octet-string;
however, the directory service expects that the octet-string will contain a
UNICODE string. This means that any values for this attribute passed in LDAP
must be UNICODE strings that are BER-encoded (Basic Encoding Rules) as an
octet-string."

I tried a lot of BEREncoding Classes but nothing worked. Does anybody know
how to set the "unicodePwd"-attribute?

Thanks in advance
