only brute force methods (except you have a misconfigured LDAP:)<br />
The password is stored as one-way hash, ther is no way back.

Mabe this is a better way to ask the question. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there any attribute in Active Directory (LDAP) that stores the password so it can be retrieved and converted to plain text on a Unix system, namely HP-UX 11i<br />
<br />
Thanks again

AFAIK unicodePwd attribute stores clear text password in AD (in unicode format).<br />
To retrieve it you must use TLS connection (LDAPS://) with AD &nbsp;administrator priveleges.<br />
Non enctypted connection (LDAP://) is not enough.

I am trying to write a script that will go out to my Active Directory server and return the password for a list of users, so I can update the passwords into another system.<br />
<br />
I am using ldapsearch to return the msSFU30Password property from their account, the problem is that this is encrypted. &nbsp;Does anyone know a way to get this in plain text?<br />
<br />
This script is running on HP-UX 11i and accessing a Windows 2003 server AD<br />

Thanks
