krb5_chpw_message - Get a result message for changing or setting a password.

krb5_error_code krb5_chpw_message(krb5_context context, const krb5_data * server_string, char ** message_out)
param:

[in] context - Library context

[in] server_string - Data returned from the remote system

[out] message_out - A message displayable to the user

retval:
  • 0 Success
return:
  • Kerberos error codes

This function processes the server_string returned in the result_string parameter of krb5_change_password() , krb5_set_password() , and related functions, and returns a displayable string. If server_string contains Active Directory structured policy information, it will be converted into human-readable text.

Use krb5_free_string() to free message_out when it is no longer needed.
