public interface UserPasswordEditorMBean

extends weblogic.management.commo.StandardInterface

Provides two methods for changing a user's password. An Authentication-provider MBean can optionally extend this MBean. The WebLogic Server Administration Console detects when an Authentication provider extends this MBean and automatically provides a GUI for using these methods.

Note: A code example has been added that shows how to use the Servlet run-as tag, administrative privileges, and security provider MBeans to allow a user to change their own password. This code example is available on the Internet at http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/pwchange.jsp.
