Change the user password

To change the user password, authenticate the old password and request to set a new password.

This operation is similar to a pkmspasswd of WebSEAL. The following example shows the sample code for changing the oldpassword to newpassword for a user testuser:

// Fetch the user
String userId = “testuser”;
RgyUser rgyUser = null;
try {
	rgyUser = rgyRegistry.getUser(“Default”, userId);
}catch (RgyException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
	System.exit(1);
}// Ensure the user was found
if (rgyUser == null) {
	System.out.println(“Group does not exist”);
	System.exit(1);
}try {
	rgyUser = rgyUser.changePassword(“oldpassword”.toCharArray(),
 “newpassword”.toCharArray());
}catch (RgyException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
	System.exit(1);
}
