Hi.

Trying to use the XML API to reset a users password to a set string. I don't want to just set it to require updating next time. I simply want to programatically set it to a new password.

   Dim strXML As String
   strXML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>" & _
   "<serv:message xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:serv='http://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service'>" & _
   " <header>" & _
   " <securityContext>" & _
   " <webExID>" & v_strAdminUsername & "</webExID>" & _
   " <password>" & v_strAdminPassword & "</password>" & _
   " <siteID>" & v_strSiteID & "</siteID>" & _
   " <partnerID>" & v_strPartnerID & "</partnerID>" & _
   " </securityContext>" & _
   " </header>" & _
   " <body>" & _
   " <bodyContent xsi:type='java:com.webex.service.binding.user.SetUser'>" & _
   " <webExId>" & v_strUserToUpdate.Trim & "</webExId>" & _
   " <security>" & _
   " <use:password>" & v_strNewPassword & "</use:password>" & _
   " </security>" & _
   " </bodyContent>" & _
   " </body>" & _
   "</serv:message>"

....isn't working. Returning error "validation: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'password' in ClassDescriptor of securityType" which is probably fair enough as I am probably firing the wrong thing at the API. Please can somebody point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Tom.

Fixed this. Took out the security tag. Not needed. Also changed <use:password> to just <password>
