PHP Unable to update user password through Google Directory API 2.0

Question

We followed the following steps from this url ( https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/quickstart/php ).

Listing users is working!

But While updating the new password for a given userKey, We are getting following error:

PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to Google_Service_Directory_Resource_Users::update() must be an instance of Google_Service_Directory_User, none given, called in /var/www/passwords_change/danish/quickstart.php on line 85 and defined in /var/www/passwords_change/danish/vendor/google/apiclient-services/src/Google/Service/Directory/Resource/Users.php on line 162

I have attached my code.

Note: We do have a valid credentials...!

<?php

Answer 1

You almost got it right. The part where you went wrong is creating the user resource object and calling the API. The logic should be similar to this:

$service = new Google_Service_Directory($client);

$password = crypt ( "Password", $salt="IamSecretkey" );

$userObj = new Google_Service_Directory_User(
    array(
        'password' =>  $password
    )
);

try{
    $results = $service->users->update("danish@XXXX.in", $userObj );
} catch(Error $ex) {
print_r($ex->getMessage());
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($results);

Please refer to the official documentation for a better and more detailed explanation. I hope this helps!
