Set Password Web Service

The SetPassword Web service changes the password of the user specified by the ProfileId argument. It requires the user’s current password for security reasons. The service checks the value of the supplied password (OriginalPassword) against the value stored for this user in the profile repository. If the values match, the password is changed to the new password.

Do not encrypt OriginalPassword or NewPassword. Both are expected to be cleartext as they are forward-hashed for comparison with the stored password value.
