3.3.11.4 Change BMC User Password
Using a PATCH request, it is possible to change the password of any user. The username is placed in
the URI of the PATCH request and the new password to be set is part of the payload.
Important:
Please note that the new password must follow the rules defined as per Linux pam_cracklib,
which checks the password against dictionary words. Therefore, very simple sequences of characters
will not be accepted.
