Hi James, If you want to validate a user and change its password using API, you can simply create an instance of ARServerUser (Changes as per C/Java code) and pass the username and password that the user has entered. By just trying to do a .login(), you should be able to check if it’s a valid user or not. Also, you can use the setPassword() method to change the password. Also, you should not pass the passwords from field ID 102 to the APIs. The password passed through field 102 is hashed and not encrypted. If you need to confirm the password, pass it through field ID 123.

I saw a new method - ExecuteProcessForActiveLink but I need to pass the activelink name as an argument for this method. It seems there is no way to validate users password.
