  Very good catch - it was indeed a misunderstanding. The implementation has been removed and I will also clarify the docstring in the PluggableAuthService interfaces files.

  LDAPPluginBase.updateCredentials changes the users password in the ldap backend. I think this is an error. updateCredentials are as far as I understand not meant for changing a users password in the backend, but for setting the credentials in a cookie, session or the like when logged in (and when changing credentials when logged in ?). It is called by CookieAuthHelper.login(). The comments in ICredentialsUpdatePlugin are a bit misleading I guess.

Changing password is correctly handled by doChangeUser.
