updateCredential

Updates an existing credential with the supplied CredentialElements according to the requested action. This method supports the updating of initial passwords and security question/answer credentials, and supports profiles for the following credentials types:

  • CRED_ELEMENT_TYPE_PASSWORD

  • CRED_ELEMENT_TYPE_SQ

For Java:

Copy 
void updateCredential(CredentialId credId, String action, Entry[] inputRequirementData)
throws NoSuchCredentialException, MalformedDataException, InvalidStateException, SessionException, ManagementException, LocalizedRemoteException;

For C++:

Copy 
void updateCredential(
CredentialId *credId, TString action, EntryTemplateVector *inputRequirementData)

Parameters:

  • credId—Credential identifier.

  • action—Update process requested for the specified Credential.

  • inputRequirementData—List of data collected based on the profile to be used during the credential update (for details, see Input Requirements).

Exceptions:

  • NoSuchCredentialException—if the specified credential is not found or not valid.

  • InvalidStateException—if the credential update violates the credential's lifecycle.

  • SessionException—if there is no valid session (such as session not opened or timed out).

  • ManagementException—if an internal failure occurs.

  • LocalizedRemoteException— (thrown by the Web service layer) only when the most severe, unexpected, SOAP-level failures occur.

  • MalformedDataException—if the input data was malformed.
