how to set lockoutTime and password of a user of A

Question

I want to change the userAccountControl and password of the AD user. User is already created in AD. The user is created with python-ldap module in AD and is in 'Disabled' state and with no password.

AD is hosted on win2k8R2.

When I change the uac and password with the pythion-ldap script it throws below error:

ldap://192.168.254.1:389
(97, [])
Traceback (most recent call last):

First you need to add tls support to your AD.http://araihan.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/windows-server-2008-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs/ this is a tutorial to explain how to create the certificate

Then you need to authenticate with tls to the AD. like this

import ldap

LDAP_SERVER_EMG = "ldaps://192.168.0.250"
BIND_DN = "[e-mail]"
BIND_PASS = "xxxXXXxxxXXXxxx"
USER_BASE = "dc=emgS,dc=local"
try:
   ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT, 0)
   lcon_emg = ldap.initialize(LDAP_SERVER_EMG)
   lcon_emg.simple_bind_s(BIND_DN, BIND_PASS)
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
   print e

Then you can add your user for test

ad_u = {
            'objectClass': ['top', 'person', 'organizationalPerson', 'user'],
            'cn': 'test',
            'displayName': 'test',
            'distinguishedName': 'CN=test,DC=emgS,dc=local',
            'givenName': 'test test',
            'sAMAccountName': 'test',
            'sn': 'test',
            'userAccountControl': '514',
            'userPrincipalName': '[e-mail]',
            'mail': mail_user,
             #732 is test in 3ll1t3
            'employeeID': '732'
            }
        mods = ldap.modlist.addModlist(ad_u)

        try:
            lcon_emg.add_s(ad_u.get('distinguishedName'),
                                mods)
        except Exception, e:
            response.update({'error_ad': 'ActiveD: Error  %s' % str(e)})
        else:
            response.update({'success_ad': 'ActiveD: F4ck y34h'})

    #then you can put a password for the user
    unicode_pass = unicode('\"' + "my super secret password :)" + '\"', 'iso-8859-1')
    password_value = unicode_pass.encode('utf-16-le')
    add_pass = [(ldap.MOD_REPLACE, 'unicodePwd', [password_value])]
    # 512 will set user account to enabled
    mod_acct = [(ldap.MOD_REPLACE, 'userAccountControl', '512')]

    try:
        lcon_emg.modify_s(ad_u.get('distinguishedName'), add_pass)
    except ldap.LDAPError, error_message:
        response.update({'error_ad_clave': 'ActiveD: Error %s' % str(error_message)})
    else:
        response.update({'success_ad_clave': 'ActiveD: Yeah'})

    try:
        lcon_emg.modify_s(ad_u.get('distinguishedName'), mod_acct)
    except ldap.LDAPError, error_message:
        response.update({'error_ad_hab': 'Error  %s' % str(error_message)})
    else:
        response.update({'success_ad_hab': 'Success'})
        lcon_emg.unbind_s()

and TA TA!!!
