I thought I have put some info about the policy about addUser()
changePassword()
and forcePassword() into the JavaDocs. Passwords are unlike the other
attirbutes.
Setting them might require encrypting them and/or sending to some other
app
than the one that stores the rest of the attributes. You might not be
able to
read the cleartext password (which might or might not be good for your
app)
or read the password at all.

I just wanted to stress out the difference.
