Code to Use the ProfileService Object or Commerce Server OLEDB Provider to Update Passwords

  • Article

This section describes how to update passwords using different methods.

If you are using Active Directory to store passwords, then passwords must be configured as multi-valued properties. When the passwords are changed, the sequence of values must be ('<old password>', '<new password>'). The following SQL query example illustrates this:

UPDATE UserObject
SET GeneralInfo.user_security_password = ('<old-password>', _
                                         '<new-password>')
WHERE GeneralInfo.logon_name = '<logon-name>'

If you are using the ProfileService object, an array of values must be used. The old password must be the first element of the array; the new password must be the second element. The following example illustrates this:

Dim objProfile
Dim Passwords(2)

Passwords(0) = "<old-password>"
Passwords(1) = "<new-password>"
' <Code to create and initialize ProfileService object omitted>
Set objProfile = ProfileService.GetProfile("<logon-name>", "UserObject")
objProfile.GeneralInfo.user_security_password = Passwords
objProfile.Update
