- The API call, "Verify Password" is really the only way to determine if a
- password is legal for the object specified. You do not send an encrypted
- password - you send an actual password which is then compared with an
- internally decrypted password to see if they match. As far as I know,
- there is no way to retrieve a password from the Netware OS. The same
- rule applies to all password API calls.
-
- Verify Bindery Object Password:
- SENT: Object ID & Password (which your application generates)
- RETRN: Error code no match.
-
- All other Password:
- Sent: Object ID & Password with New Password (ie, for change)
- RETRN: Error code for no match.
-
- Maybe I don't understand the question, as this should be obvious.
