Answer 1

Use the UnboundID LDAP SDK.

• The BIND request will verify whether the existing password is correct - there is no need to compare passwords, the BIND request will return a result code of zero if the password matches the password stored in the directory server database
• Use either the modify operation or the password modify extended request to change the password
