Updating User Account Details

Use the set operation to update user account details.

Request Packet Structure

A request XML packet that changes user account settings should include the set operation node:

</packet>

The set node is nested within type UserSetInput (user.xsd). This node has the following graphics representation:

• filter, required

  It indicates users to be updated with the specified information. Data type: UserSelectionFilter (user.xsd). To see the structure of this node, proceed to section Available Filters.

• values, required

  It contains a collection of settings that will be set for the filtered user accounts. Data type: UserSetValuesInput (user.xsd). See the definition of this node below.

The values node is structured as follows:

• gen-info, optional

  It specifies a collection of general settings that will be set for the filtered accounts. Data type: UserSetGenInfo (user.xsd).

• passwd, required

  It specifies the password of a user account. Data type: string.
