MORE INFORMATION
This software update lets OEMs add a function that is called during PEAP authentication if the password of a user has expired. To use the functionality that is added by this software update, follow these steps:
 * 1) Add a function that is named GetNewPassword to the public netui module. You can find the signature for the GetNewPassword function in the updated Netui.h header file that is in this software update.
 * 2) In the GetNewPassword function, prompt the user for the new password. Then, pass the password as a Unicode string to the GetNewPassword function by using the pNewPwd parameter.
 * 3) Export the GetNewPassword function from the netui module.
