# krb5_chpw_message - Get a result message for changing or setting a password.

krb5_error_code krb5_chpw_message(krb5_context context, const krb5_data *server_string, char **message_out)

param:

  [in] context - Library context

  [in] server_string - Data returned from the remote system

  [out] message_out - A message displayable to the user

retval:

  - 0 Success

return:

  - Kerberos error codes

This function processes the server_string returned in the result_string parameter of krb5_change_password(), krb5_set_password(), and related functions, and returns a displayable string. If server_string contains Active Directory structured policy information, it will be converted into human-readable text.

Use krb5_free_string() to free message_out when it is no longer needed.
