Openldap : How to compare passwords

[vinuret]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a change password functionality in in openldap. I want to compare the old password entered by the user against the password stored in openldap. I have got the password of the user as bytearray which is in binary. Now how I can compare this with the password entered by the user?

Note: I cannot do a ldapTemplate.authenticate() or getting a context source by LdapContextSource.getContext() method as the user password might have been expired and it would through Invalid credentials exception.

Please suggest a solution for this.

Thanks in advance,
Vinu
