Set/Change user password through netsuite RESTlet script

Question

I'm integrating a WordPress site with a client's NetSuite using RESTlet scripts in SuiteScript. It's been going pretty well until I got to the reset password part. When a user change's their password in WordPress I'd like to update their password for NetSuite as well.

I figured I could use the nlapiSubmitRecord and update the record with a new pass but I don't see anywhere that talks about a password field. I'm assuming there's some functionality I don't know about or maybe it's just not possible to do through a RESTlet script?

I took a quick glance through the docs, and I see this is available in 2.0. Check out the (N/auth Module) and the auth.changePassword Method.

They also included some demo code that show how to change the current user's email and password:

/**
 *@NApiVersion 2.x
 */
require(['N/auth'],function(auth){
  function changeEmailAndPassword() {
    var password='myCurrentPassword';
    auth.changeEmail({
      password:password,
      newEmail:'[email protected]'
    });
    auth.changePassword({
      currentPassword:password,
      newPassword:'myNewPa55Word'
    });
  }
  changeEmailAndPassword();
});
