              <br>
              Yes, this is a correct approach. I'm am slightly concerned
              about the step 2, though. If the user has the ability to
              read it's own object ("self") then that step should work.
              But I'm not sure if we have tested this. But I'm sure you
              are going to try it. So in case that it does not work
              please report a bug, because it is supposed to work.<br>
              <br>
              Thinking about this ... I can see that this process might
              be a bit cumbersome and a bit inefficient. Especially
              considering that midPoint knows the identity of logged-in
              user (even in REST). So I can imagine having a resource
              something like <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="http://xxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/self"
                target="_blank">http://xxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/self</a>
              that could return the object representing the logged-in
              user. This will make it all easier. However, this is not
              implemented now. If you want that please add that as a new
              feature in jira. However it will need sponsoring or
              subscriber endorsement to get implemented anytime soon.<br>

                      <div>we are running midPoint 3.4 and our customer
                        has an existing web portal where they want to
                        maintain all end-user interaction.</div>
                      <div>They are building a component to allow
                        end-users to change their passwords. We would
                        like them to use the REST API. From the portal,
                        they will have the username from the session and
                        present a form to ask the user's old_password
                        and new_password.</div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>Our idea so far:</div>
                      <div>1) Grant our end-users a custom role with <a

href="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/security/authorization-rest-3#all"

                        authorization, in addition to the minimum
                        requirements to change his own credentials and
                        it's shadow's credentials.<br>
                      </div>
                      <div>2) use <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                          href="http://xxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/search"
                          target="_blank">http://xxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/search</a>,
                        to find the user by name and parsing the XML
                        result to get his oid.</div>
                      <div>3) use <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                          href="http://xxxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/%7Buser_oid%7D"
                          target="_blank">http://xxxxxx/midpoint/ws/rest/users/{user_oid}</a>
                        to POST an objectModification to set
                        credentials/password</div>
                      <div>(both REST calls would use
                        username:old_password for authorization)</div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>Is this the correct approach? Is there any
