Setting Active Directory unicode password
This mapping option is only valid for AD/Exchange 200x destinations when creating User accounts.
IMPORTANT: In order to do this, you MUST be syncing with the Destination Port for SSL (port 636).
The following mapping can be used to map a password for connections syncing to an AD/Exchange 2000/2003/2007/2008 destination. (It is NOT possible to pull the source password and sync it to the destination.)
u|unicodepwd=Password99 - In this example, the password will be set to "Password99"
u|unicodepwd=^givenname^ - In this example, the password will be set equal to the "given name" attribute of the synced object
* With the newer policy requirements, it may not be as simple as using ^givenname^ as this value will likely not meet the requiements. Verify your password format requirements before attempting to set unicodepwd.
*If your connection is configured to create User accounts and you don't configure a custom mapping to set the password, the password on each new acount will be blank.
* Unicodepwd is in the No Mod Attribs list, which means it only gets set on initial creation of AD User Accounts.
