Hi,

The following C# code shows how to validate a password against the effective policy for a given object.

private static bool IsValidPassword(ISession session, SecureString passwordToCheck)
{
    // Get the object to set a password for
    var user = session.Source().Get("DialogUser", "CCC-51CF3968B0C84D46A685948482520D06", EntityLoadType.Interactive);
    var passwordManager = session.Resolve<IPasswordManager>();

    // Get the effective password policy UID
    var uidPolicy = (string)user.CallFunctionAsync("GetPwdPolicyUid", "Password" /* property name */, true).Result;

    // Get the policy for the UID
    var passwordPolicy = passwordManager.GetPolicyAsync(uidPolicy, CancellationToken.None).Result;

    var validationResult = passwordPolicy.ValidatePassword(passwordToCheck);

    return validationResult.IsValid;
}
