adtool is a unix command line utility for Active Directory administration. Features include user and group creation, deletion, modification, password setting and directory query and search capabilities.
adtool requires LDAP libraries to be installed (www.openldap.org). To use secure (ldaps://) connections OpenLDAP has to have been built with SSL support. SSL support is required for the password setting feature to work.
