Subject: Java client to password change protocol
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hello,

I have to produce an authentication and authorisation infrastructure for 
a web-service oriented architecture. For this I use MIT Kerberos and 
OpenLDAP. In addition I use JAAS, GSS-API and JNDI. So far so good.

Now my problem is to administrate the users from the web-services. I 
found the "work around" to open a shell and use kadmin or kpasswd. This 
is not a acceptable solution. Is there a way tu use some classes of the 
Apache Directory project or other library’s to implement a client for 
the password change protocol? Can anybody recommend a documentation for 
this problem?

If there is no one and I get enough tip's to solve this problem, I will 
wrote one.

I hope that's the right way to get some help.

Regards, Mario
