Hi, I have the AD/LDAP Connector installed and working great for authentication, but password write back doesn’t seem to work. I’m able to successfully change my password through auth0 and the connector accepts the new password but writes it into the ‘userPassword’ AD attribute in plain text. It doesn’t seem to update the actual password used for AD authentication. Any help or ideas here would be much appreciated, thanks! ---

Looks like all I needed was to switch to ldaps, and set ENABLE\_ACTIVE\_DIRECTORY\_UNICODE\_PASSWORD (as well as ENABLE\_WRITE\_BACK) to true. I can now use Auth0 password reset to change passwords on AWS Managed Active Directory. Yay! ---
