=head1 NAME

Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword - LDAPv3 Modify Password extension object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Net::LDAP;
 use Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword;

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

$ldap->bind('cn=Joe User,cn=People,dc=mydomain,dc=eg",
             password => 'oldPassword');

$mesg = $ldap->set_password( oldpasswd => 'oldPassword' );

die "error: ", $mesg->code(), ": ", $mesg->error()  if ($mesg->code());

print "changed your password to", $mesg->gen_password() , "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Net::LDAP::Extension::SetPassword> implements the C<Modify Password>
extended LDAPv3 operation as described in RFC 3062.

It implements no object by itself but extends the L<Net::LDAP> object
by another method:

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item set_password ( OPTIONS )

Set the password for a user.

OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following keys are recognized:

=over 4

=item user

If present, this option contains the octet string representation of the
user associated with the request.  Depending on how users are identified
in the directory this string may or may not be a DN according to RFC 4514.

If this option is not present, the request acts up upon the password
of the user currently associated with the LDAP session.

=item oldpasswd

This option, if present, must contain the current password of the user
for whom this operation is performed.

It depends on the server's implementation in which cirumstances this
option is allowed to be missing.

=item newpasswd

If present, this option contains the desired password for the user for
whom the operation is performed.

Depending on the server's implementation this option may be required by
the LDAP server.

=back

=item gen_password ( )

Return the password generated by the server in response to the
C<set_password()> call when applicable. The server will not generate
a new password if C<newpasswd> was passed to C<set_password()>.

This method is a method of the L<Net::LDAP::Message> response object
returned in reply to C<set_password()> in case the C<set_password()>
call succeeded.

By this method the caller can query for the value of the password in
case he did not call C<set_password()> with the C<newpasswd> option.
