	[out] VARIANT_BOOL * success);

success

[out] Specifies whether the result of the password change is successful (VARIANT_TRUE) or not (VARIANT_FALSE).

Thread Safety

This method is called in context of WORK thread. (See Server Threads Model for details.) You should synchronize data which is shared with other threads.

Server allocates and frees memory for userInf fields, so extension must not change them.
