Using APM to reset a forget user Password in AD

So If the user knows the password, we can reset the password using AD auth in the APM. I created a one time password which is send to the user via email or SMS in the future. Once the user enter the OTP then he should be able to reset his password without entering the old AD password.

    AD doesnt know anything about the OTP nor does it support it for changing a password. If you issue an OTP its not going to help you. AD is not going to let you change a password without some form of authentication that it recognises.

    OTP works fine and I find the user in AD but the problem is that it only works if you know your old password. so you need to get authenticate before you can change your password. And because of that I am unable to use it if you forget your password. I wander if we can put this as a feature request.
