Active Directory user accounts have an attribute called userAccountControl which is used to control items such as Account Lockout, Account Disabled, Password Never Expires, User Cannot Change Password etc. This is determined by an integer value... based on the value the system knows which options are enabled and which are disabled. The value 512 is the base value for all normal user accounts. To understand all integers that make this attribute work please refer to the following KB article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144
AD LDS (ADAM) does not support the userAccountControl attribute. Instead, AD LDS uses several individual attributes to hold the information that is contained in the flags of the userAccountControl attribute.
For a list of these attributes please refer to the following MSDN article:

Any userAccountControl flags that are not listed below are not supported by AD LDS.
