[keycloak-user] Defining a new user password through REST API

[Marek Posolda]

Hi,

actually you can do it with this endpoint: 
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.0-beta-3/rest-api/admin/realms/%7Brealm%7D/users/%7Busername%7D/#PUT 
. You need to pass whole user representation of particular user in the 
request body of this PUT request. See admin console (page for updating 
users) for more details.
