Name

auth_passwd — Change account's password

Synopsis


#include <courierauth.h>

int rc=auth_passwd( const char *service,
  const char *username,
  const char *oldpassword,
  const char *newpassword);
 

DESCRIPTION

If username's password is oldpassword, it is replaced with newpassword. service identifies which so-called "service"'s password is changed; like imap or pop3. Some Courier authentication library's back-end module can use different passwords for different services. service is ignored if this is not the case.

RETURNS

auth_passwd returns 0 if the password was succesfully changed. A non-0 error code indicates a failure..
