Changing AEM password via curl

Hi All,

I am facing an issue in changing the password for AEM instance from 6.4.2 and above using the curl command , The password is not getting updated.

USER_PATH=`ruby -rjson -e 'j = JSON.parse(File.read("user.json")); puts j["hits"][0]["path"]'`

curl -s -u admin:admin -Fplain=admin1 -Fverify=admin1 -Fold=admin -FPath=$USER_PATH http://localhost:4502/crx/explorer/ui/setpassword.jsp

This command works fine for AEM 6.4 , but not for 6.4.2 and above. Anyone faced this?

Are you seeing any messages in the log file. I have never attempted to change password via CURL.
