Syntax

RevalidatePassword()

Description

Use the RevalidatePassword function to revalidate the password that the current user used to sign onto the PeopleSoft application.

Note: In certain scenarios such as LDAP authentication and depending on the implementation, the user ID used for signon might differ from the operator ID of user profile in effect after signon. RevalidatePassword automatically accounts for this and requests revalidation based on the signon ID.
