AUTH_PASSWD(3)

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..
