After doing some research I found out that there are some products on
the market which are capable of doing that. So, what's the point here?
What is needed to make that possible?

Could someone with a deeper AD understanding shade a little light into
this matter?


The synchronization of passwords requires a service to be installed and configured on AD domain controllers. It cannot sync already existing passwords (because they are stored in a hashed form) but is able to capture password addition/changes and synchronize the new password to IdM.

Please note however that the doc states the following:
In some integration scenarios, the user synchronization may be the only available option, but in general, use of the synchronization approach is discouraged in favor of the cross-realm trust-based integration

HTH,

Cheers,
Ronald
