A lot of systems have been raised in the last decade by Microsoft and they touched different areas Emails, Collaboration, Data storage, Social networks, Gaming, Entertainment…etc. Security is also in the top priorities of Microsoft products, as they are considered as the favourite target of hackers and suffered from viruses and all kind of attacks since their appearance.
One of the important concerns related to security and the diversity of systems and devices is the password manipulation using and changing. Microsoft has developed couple of protocols and techniques for password using Authentication and changing. One of the greatest advents in the field of authentication is the single sign on protocol, which allow the users to authenticate only once and then get access to all systems that implement and comply with this protocol RTRS, Single Sign-On refers to the ability to log in to one application or server and be authenticated on other applications or servers without having to log in again Rutenbeck, This can be more convenient for users, as they do not need to re-enter their passwords for each system and it can also under certain circumstances be more secure.
Depending under which angle we look at the second part not having to re-enter password each time , we might disagree whether it is a positive or negative aspect of the Single Sign-on. The Microsoft. Net Passport is one of the different applications of SSO protocol which has raised a lot of confusions and discussions about the strength of this method. To use.

Set-password operations don't have this requirement, but are controlled by the Reset Password permissions on the account. If the domain controller isn't configured for SSL or if appropriately long keys aren't available, the password-change write is denied.
An Active Directory domain controller listens for change-password requests on all of these protocols. As stated earlier in this article, different protocols are used in different circumstances.
