This corrects a deficiency in the SoftLayer portal, allowing you to update your forums.softlayer.com password so you can log into them directly, instead of going through the rest of the portal.

user_updateForumPassword.php

<?php
 
// apiconfig.php needs to have apiUsername, apiKey, and the path to the SLApi file that used to be in this script.

require_once('configuration/apiconfig.php');

$newPassword = readline("New password: ");

$client = SoftLayer_SoapClient::getClient('SoftLayer_Account', null, SLAPI_USER, SLAPI_KEY);
$user = $client->getCurrentUser();

$userClient = SoftLayer_SoapClient::getClient('SoftLayer_User_Customer', $user->id,SLAPI_USER, SLAPI_KEY);

try {
$userClient->updateForumPassword($newPassword);
echo "Forum password updated to " . $newPassword . " for user " . $user->username . "\n\r";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage() . "\n\r";
