Class PasswordModifyExtendedRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:
ExtendedRequest<PasswordModifyExtendedResult>, ProtocolOp, Request

The password modify extended request as defined in RFC 3062. This operation allows directory clients to update user passwords. The user may or may not be associated with a directory entry. The user may or may not be represented as an LDAP DN. The user's password may or may not be stored in the directory. In addition, it includes support for requiring the user's current password as well as for generating a new password if none was provided.
 
 String userIdentity = ...; // For example, "u:<uid>" or "dn:<DN>"
 char[] oldPassword = ...;
 char[] newPassword = ...;
 Connection connection = ...;

 PasswordModifyExtendedRequest request =
         Requests.newPasswordModifyExtendedRequest()
             .setUserIdentity(userIdentity)
             .setOldPassword(oldPassword)
             .setNewPassword(newPassword);

 PasswordModifyExtendedResult result = connection.extendedRequest(request);
 if (result.isSuccess()) {
     // Changed password
 } else {
     // Use result to diagnose error.
 }
