Parameters

conn

(IN) Specifies the NetWare server connection handle corresponding to the server to receive the change.

objName

(IN) Points to the name of the object whose password is to be changed.

objType

(IN) Specifies the type of the object.

oldPassword

(IN) Points to the old password.

newPassword

(IN) Points to the new password.

Return Values

These are common return values. See Return Values (Return Values for C).

Remarks

NWChangeObjectPassword does not require the old password to be known.

For NWChangeObjectPassword to work properly, LOGIN_CONTROL must be set appropriately.

NWChangeObjectPassword attempts to change the password by using encryption. If the server does not support encryption, NWChangeObjectPassword attempts to change the password without using encryption.

Clients can change their own password. To change the password for other bindery objects, the client must be a SUPERVISOR or SUPERVISOR equivalent.

See Object Type.
