samba - Apr 2016 - why samba-tool allows password reset against Windows DC ?

hi everybody this is my situation 

Why can I change the user password using samba-tool against a windows DC but
when I try to do the same
operation using a ldap library, throws the exception "Unsupported
operation" ?
I think the problem is the authentication method, How samba -tool authenticates
to the LDAP protocol?
It's possible make this operation using another LDAP library? 

PD: I accomplished this operation against a DC samba but not against windows DC

How are you trying to change the users password with ldap ?

You need to encode the password and change it using ssl on port 636
