# krb5_set_password_using_ccache - Set a password for a principal using cached credentials.

krb5_error_code `krb5_set_password_using_ccache`(krb5_context context, krb5_ccache ccache, const char * newpw, krb5_principal change_password_for, int * result_code, krb5_data * result_code_string, krb5_data * result_string)

param: | [in] context - Library context [in] ccache - Credential cache [in] newpw - New password [in] change_password_for - Change the password for this principal [out] result_code - Numeric error code from server [out] result_code_string - String equivalent to result_code [out] result_string - Data returned from the remote system

retval: | 0 Success
return: | Kerberos error codes

This function uses the cached credentials from ccache to set the password newpw for the principal change_password_for . It implements RFC 3244 set password operation (interoperable with MS Windows implementations) using the credential cache.

The error code and strings are returned in result_code , result_code_string and result_string .

Note

If change_password_for is set to NULL, the change is performed on the default principal in ccache . If change_password_for is non null, the change is performed on the specified principal.
