Setting Active Directory unicode password when creating AD User accounts - HIDDEN pre 2017

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 to the Destination SSL port (port 636).

The following mapping can be used to generate a password via mapping for connections syncing to an AD Destination. It is NOT possible to pull the source password and sync it to the destination.

Create a custom object map and add a line for the unicodepwd attribute as follows:

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

Notes

• With newer policy requirements, it may not be as simple as using ^givenname^ as this value will likely not meet the requirements. 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.
