How to create a new Active Directory Account from Java (via JNDI)?

Question

Hi:

Is it possible to create a new user in AD rom Java via JNDI?

I tried via trusty Google but nothing came up - maybe I was googling using the wrong terminology (JNDI Active Directory Create User).

Any tips will be create appreciated.

Current status: I have connected to AD via my Java code and can change attributes of existing AD accounts; next I would like to be able to create AD users from Java/JNDI.

Thanks!

    mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE,
            new BasicAttribute("member", userDN));

    ctx.modifyAttributes(groupDN, mods);
