Retrieve password in clear text

Depends.
You can be notified that a user's password has changed and then retrieve
the password.

The eDirectory instance must be configured to utilize the Universal
Password and allow retrieval of the user's password.

The two processes are separate.
For being notified, see:

For retrieving the password, see:
http://developer.novell.com/document...a/bktitle.html

Generally, we have found it easier and cheaper to purchase IDM than to
re-invent the wheel.

Have fun
