Description

EApiPasswordValidate verifies that the given password is the password stored in the Coordination database. The given password is compared to the password stored in the coordination database for the given user ID. If the two passwords are the same, a successful indication is returned. This function is independent of database connection state and whether or not EApiLogonUserId has been called. It does require that the environment variable IEF_MDNAME is defined and that the CSE Server it identifies is running.

A valid password for a given user ID is the same password that would be used to logon to a CSE through a CSE client. Use CSE Administration tools to change the password associated with the given user ID.
