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..
