modify-password

<modify-password> is used:

When the target is eDirectory, and <old-password> is specified, the modifyPassword API is used to modify the password. If not specified, the GenerateKeyPair API is used. Note that using GenerateKeyPair may invalidate authentication credentials for any existing session authenticated as the target object.

When the target is the application, a driver may or may not implement this functionality, depending on the applicability to the application.

A response to <modify-password> should be a <status> indicating whether or not the <modify-password> was processed successfully.

Example

<modify-password class-name="User" src-dn="\Sam">
<association>1012</association>
<password>mypassword<password>
</modify-password>
