Change applicants password

The /changePassword endpoint changes the applicants password.

By sending the following POST-request, you can change the password:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST
"https://api.softgarden.io/api/rest/v2/frontend/changePassword?op={oldPassword}&np={newPassword}"

1 2	curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "https://api.softgarden.io/api/rest/v2/frontend/changePassword?op={oldPassword}&np={newPassword}"

with TOKEN being a user access token. It is used to determine the validity of this request. That the changes take effect, the {oldPassword} has to be the current password in the database, which will be replaced by {newPassword} on success. Both passwords have to be first encoded md5 according to this method from org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils and after that, additionally base64 encoded according to this method from org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.
