B<p12> is a pointer to a PKCS12 structure. B<oldpass> is the existing password
and B<newpass> is the new password.
=head1 NOTES
Each of B<oldpass> and B<newpass> is independently interpreted as a string in
the UTF-8 encoding. If it is not valid UTF-8, it is assumed to be ISO8859-1
instead.
In particular, this means that passwords in the locale character set
(or code page on Windows) must potentially be converted to UTF-8 before
use. This may include passwords from local text files, or input from
the terminal or command line. Refer to the documentation of
L<UI_OpenSSL(3)>, for example.
