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..
