[midPoint] Sample REST POST request to change User Password

[Katarina Valalikova]

Hi Jason,

it is possible to change user's password using following command:

curl.exe --useradministrator:5ecr3t <http://administrator:5ecr3t/>-H 
"Content-Type: application/xml" -X 
PATCHhttp://localhost:8080/midpoint/model/rest/users/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002-d 
@passwordChange.xml

where:

    http://localhost:8080/midpoint/model/rest/users/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002

specifies, that the change will be applied on the user with the oid 
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002 and the passwordChange.xml may look 
like the following example

    <objectModification
    xmlns='http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/api-types-3'
    xmlns:c='http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3'
    xmlns:t="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/types-3">
         <itemDelta>
    <t:modificationType>replace</t:modificationType>
    <t:path>c:credentials/c:password/c:value</t:path>
             <t:value>
    <c:clearValue>newPasswordValue</c:clearValue>
             </t:value>
         </itemDelta>
    </objectModification>
