DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(pr);
          BasicAttributes entry = new BasicAttributes(true);
          String entryDN = "cn=CharbelHad,ou=test users,dc=test,dc=dev";
          Attribute cn = new BasicAttribute("cn", "ChHad");
          Attribute street = (new BasicAttribute("streetAddress", "Ach"));
          Attribute loginPreW2k = (new BasicAttribute("sAMAccountName", "[email protected]"));
          Attribute login = (new BasicAttribute("userPrincipalName", "[email protected]"));
          Attribute sn = (new BasicAttribute("sn", "Chl"));
          Attribute pwd = new BasicAttribute("unicodePwd", "\"Ch@341\"".getBytes("UTF-8"));
Attribute userAccountControl = new BasicAttribute("userAccountControl", "512");
          Attribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectClass");
          oc.add("top");
          oc.add("person");
          oc.add("organizationalPerson");
          oc.add("user");
          // build the entry
          entry.put(cn);
          entry.put(street);
          entry.put(sn);
          entry.put(userAccountControl);
          entry.put(pwd);
          entry.put(login);
          entry.put(loginPreW2k);
          entry.put(oc);
          ctx.createSubcontext(entryDN, entry);
