Error to make a Request to update password in UAA

Hi,

Using UAA API, it is possible to create users without password. Later if you need to update the password what is the right request to make the process? Current documentation is not very clear:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/uaa/blob/master/docs/UAA-APIs.rst#create-a-user-post-users

The document has al ink for a section to udpate password but it was removed:
http://www.simplecloud.info/specs/draft-scim-api-01.html#change-password

Using the documentation, the request throws an Error:

uaa_options = {
"schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"],
"password": "abc123456",
"oldPassword": "oldpassword"
}

return CloudFoundryUsersUAA.updatePassword(token_type, access_token, uaa_guid, uaa_options);

UsersUAA.prototype.updatePassword = function (token_type, access_token, uaa_guid, uaa_options) {
"use strict";

var url = this.UAA_API_URL + "/Users/" + uaa_guid + "/password";
var options = {
method: 'PUT',
url: url,
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: token_type + ' ' + access_token
},
json: uaa_options
};

return this.REST.request(options, "200", false);
};

Error:

Note: it is possible to create an user in UAA with a password in the first operation, but the documenation is not clear in this point.

var uaa_options = {
"schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"],
"userName":username,
"emails":[
{
"value":"demo(a)example.com",
"type":"work"
}
],
"password": "123456",
};

Usage with CF CLI: cf login -a https://apiMY_IP.xip.io -u userXXX -p 123456 --skip-ssl-validation

Any help to update passwords?
