Directory Programming .NET

Hope some bright minds could figure and help me with this:

I'd like to use kadmin to change password on another linux server FROM a c# programming language windows server. I wonder if there is some mechanism/setup for these two servers to talk to each others. Or is there something like LDAP for Active Directory?  Small sample is a big deal!

Will never thank you enough.

No idea on this one.  I don't even know what kadmin is.  If it can execute on a Windows box, you can definitely call it from C# using the Process class, but I don't know if that helps you.

kadmin can execute commands to kerberos. i.e. changing userpasswords.  The problem is how windows server can deliver these commands and be recognized by the linux system that host kerberos.  I found this article on technet.microsoft.com but can't find any atual technique details yet, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742432.aspx

According to that doc, kadmin is an implementation-specific tool that isn't defined in the spec.  Do you have a version of kadmin that works on your Linux servers?

In general, I'd recommend you ask this question somewhere else.  I don't know anything about this topic and I'm not sure if anyone else on this forum does either.  I also suggest providing a lot more details on what you are trying to accomplish if you want to avoid wasting time by having people ask you follow up questions.  :)

Yes, I used kadmin, which is MIT kerberos command to change password on the linux server and it works fine.  The dilemma is how to execute this command from a different server-the windows server on c# coding.

Thank you.
