Only an administrator may reset the password of a user without knowing the previous password. Active Directroy does not use the userPassword attribute, it uses the unicodePwd attribute which is quoted-UTFhex-padded-base64 encoded.

This decentralized user management system can create inconsistencies, security vulnerabilities, and extra management work for IT teams. To solve the issues of decentralized user management systems, multiple operating systems, authenticating and authorizing access to resources in a cloud or hybrid cloud infrastructure, and the need for multiple protocols, many companies are turning to cloud directory platforms.
Companies are increasingly choosing cloud directories that combine aspects of all three into one platform. It also includes mobile device management MDM and makes directory management easy with a rich GUI that still gives admins the option for command-line execution.
Because we understand choosing your directory or switching providers is a big decision, we make it easier by letting companies try JumpCloud for free. Try JumpCloud Free today.

It doesn't even have a root entry out of the box. AD is going to ship with a basic structure and has the GUI tools ready for you to start populating users.
So you'll have to plan out where you're going to put your users, groups, roles and think about ACLs or branch delegation if your project involves things like that. For example you might have a domain for widgets. In AD the shipped structure will look something like this:. It doesn't matter a whole lot but you should go with one or the other.
If you're trying to fit into a big MS domain, I'd stick with DC convention for consistency and ease of integration. But for this example we'll pretend our company organization o in one country c with no regions or units ou :. Then you can extend your schema if need be. After that, it's pretty straightforward. Define your attributes first and then your objectclasses. AD doesn't let you query everything on anonymously.
If you want to get schema information called the catalog you have to query on and authenticate. AD has a default query limit of 10, If you want to suck down everything in one shot you have to use paging controls on your client or in your code or modify the default query limit on the domain controller you are searching.
Note that paging controls can be problematic. I'd gotten them to work in java using the Netscape libraries but some LDAP clients don't seem to work correctly even though they claim they support paging controls YMMV.
AD's authentication is a little strange. You can authenticate as an email formatted username -D username domain or you can use the full user DN. This is odd compared to other LDAP servers. The advantage of AD usually is that it already contains user accounts for your internal users - these can be kept in synch with separate LDAP server though this adds complexity.
