 NAME
   sec_rgy_acct_user_replace - Replaces user account data

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/acct.h>

 void sec_rgy_acct_user_replace(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_login_name_t *login_name,
         sec_rgy_acct_user_t *user_part,
         boolean32 set_passwd,
         sec_passwd_rec_t *caller_key,
         sec_passwd_rec_t *new_key,
         sec_passwd_type_t new_keytype,
         sec_passwd_version_t *new_key_version,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 context
        An opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use
        sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

 login_name
        A pointer to the account login name.  A login name is composed
        of three character strings, containing the principal, group,
        and organization (PGO) names corresponding to the account.
        For the group and organization names, blank strings can serve
        as wildcards, matching any entry. The principal name must be
        input.

 user_part
        A pointer to the sec_rgy_acct_user_t structure containing the
        user part of the account data. This represents such information
        as the account password, home directory, and default shell, all
        of which are accessible to, and may be modified by, the account
        owner. The structure contains the following fields:

        gecos
              A character string containing information about the
              account owner. This often includes such information as
              their name and telephone number.

        homedir
              The default directory upon login for the account.

        shell The default shell to use upon login.

        passwd_version_number
              The password version number, a 32-bit unsigned integer,
              set by the registry server.

        passwd_dtm
              The date and time of the last password change (in
              sec_timeval_sec_t form), also set by the registry server.

        flags A flag set of type sec_rgy_acct_user_flags_t.

        passwd
              The account's encrypted password.

 set_passwd
        The password reset flag.  If you set this parameter to TRUE,
        the user's password will be changed to the value specified
        in new_key.

 caller_key
        A key to use to encrypt the key for transmission to the
        registry server. If communications secure to the
        rpc_c_authn_level_pkt_privacy level are available on a system,
        then this parameter is not necessary, and the packet
        encryption is sufficient to ensure security.

 new_key
        The password for the new account. During transmission to the
        registry server, it is encrypted with caller_key.

 new_keytype
        The type of the new key. The server uses this parameter to
        decide how to encode the plaintext key.

 Output

 new_key_version
        The key version number returned by the server. If the client
        requests a particular key version number (via the version_number
        field of the new_key input parameter), the server returns the
        requested version number back to the client.

 status
        A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion,
        the routine returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an
        error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_rgy_acct_user_replace() routine replaces the user information
 in the account record specified by the input login name. The user
 information contains such information as the account home directory
 and default shell.  Typically, the the user information can be
 modified by the account owner (users with user_info (u) privileges
 for an account).

 Use the set_passwd parameter to reset the user's password. If you set
 this parameter to TRUE, the user's pasword is changed to the value
 specified in new_key.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_acct_user_replace() routine requires the u (user_info)
 permission on the account principal.

 NOTES

 All users need the w (write) privilege to modify any account
 information.

 FILES

 SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]ACCT.IDL

 ERRORS

 sec_rgy_not_authorized
              The client program is not authorized to modify the
              account data.

 sec_rgy_object_not_found
              The specified account could not be found.

 sec_rgy_server_unavailable
              The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.
