QuestionTriggering Windows Password Filters?

    Hi All,

    I've run into a challenge, and I was hoping that perhaps someone could help me.

    Due to certain system constraints (old code), I have to force all registered local password filters to run from J#.

    The fun part is that this is a web app, so the machine it is running on is not necessarily logged in as the user that I wish to change.

    Basically, I am provided with the user's name and both their old and new password, which is what password filters use to take. I don't even need to change the user's password using the server, I just need to get the registered password filters to trigger with the parameters it normally takes.

    I am quite certain that, unless I made a mistake, the J# methods for ActiveDirectory do not trigger password filter, is there another way?

    Regards,
    Pieter
