Unable to authenticate with new password after changePassword method is successful

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to connect to Siteminder Policy Server and apply changePassword through Siteminder API calls. I am able to connect to the Policy server but when i try to authenticate user with the new password, it throws Invalid credentials error.

I was able to authenticate the application (hosted on the same server) with the old password before.

I am using the below code:

———————————

smApiResult=dmsApi.getDirectoryContext(userDir,
new SmDmsConfig(),
dirContext);

SmDmsDirectory dmsDir = dirContext.getDmsDirectory();

SmDmsOrganization org=dmsDir.newOrganization(“ou=People,dc=example,dc=com”);

SmDmsUser user = org.newUser(“uid=xxxxxxx,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com”);

smApiResult = user.getObject();

smApiResult = user.changePassword(“newpassword”,”oldpassword”,true);

smApiResult = user.authenticate(“newpassword”);

System.out.println(“Done”);

——————————————

So, user.changePassword method is successful with reason code 0 but when we try to authenticate through user.authenticate method it gives Invalid credentials error.

Errors in smps logs:
