title: Reset ldap user password (Error : The server cannot handle directory requests. )
body: <p>I am using this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>LdapConnection connection = new LdapConnection(new LdapDirectoryIdentifier("DOMAIN",636));
  
  connection.SessionOptions.VerifyServerCertificate =
              new VerifyServerCertificateCallback((con, cer) =&gt; true);
  connection.SessionOptions.ProtocolVersion = 3;
  connection.AuthType = AuthType.Basic;
  connection.Credential = new NetworkCredential("CN=user,CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN","password!");
  
  connection.SessionOptions.SecureSocketLayer=true;
  
  using(connection)
  {
    connection.Bind();
  
    SearchRequest request = new SearchRequest("CN=Users,DC=DOMAIN", "CN=mayank",    System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchScope.Subtree);
  
    SearchResponse response = (SearchResponse)connection.SendRequest(request);
  
    SearchResultEntry entry = response.Entries[0];
  
    DirectoryAttributeModification modifyUserPassword = new DirectoryAttributeModification();
          modifyUserPassword.Operation = DirectoryAttributeOperation.Replace;
          modifyUserPassword.Name = "unicodePwd";
          modifyUserPassword.Add(GetPasswordData("admin1234!"));
  
          ModifyRequest modifyRequest = new ModifyRequest(entry.DistinguishedName, modifyUserPassword);
          DirectoryResponse dirResponse = connection.SendRequest(modifyRequest);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>This successfully connects to LDAP but when one attempts to change the password, it throws an error stating "The server cannot handle directory requests."</p>
