Question about DirectoryEntry.AuthenticationTypes

Hi
I have a scenario where the user can change his password at Active
Directory. However the password must not be passes in cleartext over the
network.
I am using DirectoryEntry.Invoke("ChangePassword",oldPassword, newPassword)
to change the password.
If I use AuthenticationTypes.Secure while binding, will it also ensure that
during the password change also, the new password and old password are not
passed in cleartext

Thanks in advance

Authentication.Secure doesn't affect the ChangePassword invocation.

Then how can I ensure that while changing the password, the passwords are not
passed in cleartext.
Thanks
