Usage

Sending the request

You need the microservice ID of the session manager:

public static final IId SESSION_MICROSERVICE_ID = CIdFactory.fromObject("ccf168c1-f18b-4229-85f9-24461a19ee6a");

In addition to the user ID, the hash of the current password and that of the new password are required. Both SHA384 hashes must be base64 encoded. You can use a utility method of the kernel: CUtilPassword.hashPassword().

private void changePassword(@NotNull final String aUserId,
                            final char[] aCurrentPassword,
                            final char[] aNewPassword) throws CException
{
    final String currentPasswordHash = CUtilPassword.hashPassword(aCurrentPassword);
    final String newPasswordHash = CUtilPassword.hashPassword(aNewPassword);

    final CEnvelope env = CEnvelope.forMicroService(SESSION_MICROSERVICE_ID);

    final CRecord record = CRecordUserDbChangePassword.create();
    CRecordUserDbChangePassword.setUserId(record,
                                          aUserId);
    CRecordUserDbChangePassword.setCurrentPassword(record,
                                                   currentPasswordHash);
    CRecordUserDbChangePassword.setNewPassword(record,
                                               newPasswordHash);

    sendRequest(env,
                record);
}

Dealing with the response

To catch the response of the request, we need a message handler. We add it in the constructor of the message handler registry.

// constructor:
addMessageHandler(CRecordUserDbChangePassword.ID,
                  this::asyncChangePassword);

private boolean asyncChangePassword(@NotNull final CEnvelope aEnvelope,
                                    @NotNull final CRecord aRecord)
{
    if (aEnvelope.isAnswer())
    {
        final int resultCode = aEnvelope.getResultCode();
        if (resultCode == CResultCode.SUCCESS)
        {
            // ...
        }
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
