obj-c question

I'm new to obj-c and was hoping for a pointer in the right direction.

I'm working with a calendaring project (SOGo) written in obj-c and it
inter-operates with MS Active Directory.

In order to change a password in AD, the new password has to be
formatted in a specific way. An example of how this is done in Java is
here:

# // Replace the "unicdodePwd" attribute with a new
value
# // Password must be both Unicode and a quoted string
# String newQuotedPassword = "\"" + newPassword + "\"";
# byte[] newUnicodePassword = newQuotedPassword.getBytes
("UTF-16LE");

My question is, how would one take an NSString object containting the
password and return it in the same format as above?

Thanks for any guidance.

NSString * newQuotedPassword =
[NSString stringWithFormat: @"\"%@\"", password];

char const * bytes = [newQuotedPassword
cStringUsingEncoding: NSUTF16LittleEndianStringEncoding];
