Unable to retrieve domain user password thro' API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I just started developing using Google Apps APIs. I am struck in a situation, 
please help me out.

I have a portal, all users from my google apps domain has to access that, for 
that I provided a login authentication servlet.

So in the LoginAuthentication servlet, I retrieve the username/password from 
the portal & have to check with my domain, here Im unable to retrieve password 
from my domain(I can retrieve other details) using API, it returns just null.

AppsForYourDomainClient client =
new AppsForYourDomainClient( "my admin email", "adminpwd", "domain" );
UserEntry userEntry = client.retrieveUser("username");
userEntry.getLogin().getUsername(); ---> returns my username
userEntry.getLogin().getPassword(); --> returns null

For security reasons, passwords are never returned by the API.

So why put an accessor on the class then?

also if you are doing google domain migrations oauth on allows you go get the 
users, you still need to the users credentials to migrate assets calendar, 
contacts or whatever to another google domain. All the gdata client methods 
user username, password, domain for authenticate no oauth some how do you 
perform this task?
