Have you considered using CFLOGIN?Take a look at http://groups.google.com/group/CF-Talk/browse_thread/thread/72494649100a8656/d1cdf7cd1e17ad95?hl=en&lnk=st&q=coldfusion+authenticate+user+Active+Directory&rnum=4#d1cdf7cd1e17ad95"for an example.

To answer your original question, you can't retrieve a password from Active Directory.

If you wanted to use CFLDAP to authenticate a user, you just pass the username and password values, from the form, into the CFLDAP tag. If it works, the user is who they say they are. If it fails, then don't consider them to be authenticated.

Wrap the CFLDAP tag with a CFTRY tag to catch any errors.
