Is it possible to change the passwd of the users using the API??

jose · 9 February 2015 00:04

Hi devs,

I didn’t see anything in the documentation in that regard. I could only find out the user replication as the only way to specify a user passwd using the API. Am I correct?

Thanks

Jose

jason · 9 February 2015 05:13

Hi Jose,

Yes, it is possible to send the plain-text password of a user to the
system using the API, which will then hash the password for you and
persist it in the database.

Best regards,
Jason

Thanks Jason,

sorry, and how should it work? I tried with the following call…

curl.exe -d @user.json “http://localhost:8080/dhis/api/users/oEiOvqVp3A9” -H “Content-Type:application/json” -u myuser:mypasswd -v

where the user.json file just contains

{

“username”: “the_user_name”,

“password”: “the_user_passwd”

}

But the system gives me an error

Am I missing something?

Thanks

You need to send the full payload. Are you on 2.18? you could use PATCH for this now… something like

{

“password”: “new-password”

}

curl -X PATCH -d @password.json -u user:pass http://localhost:8080/api/users/ID/password

(untested, but should work)

Thanks Jason,

nope, I am using the 2.17. But will migrate to the 2.18 this afternoon. Will test it and let you know.

So in the 2.17 I would need to introduce all the information of the user again in the payload?

Thanks

Easiest was would be to GET the current payload of the user,modify the password to what you want and the POST this payload back, if you are on 2.17.

Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately it is still not working (likely because I am doing something wrong). So the call to the API that I tried is:

…api/users/zNdlm77vil8/userCredentials

and the payload:

{

“password”: “the_new_passwd”,

“id”: “AMuabF1Lrct”, (the id of the user credentials)

“name”: “user_name”,

“code”: “user_code”

}

But the system gives me the error: “Unknown payload format”

Any ideas? I think it is better if you could send me the call to the API and the format of the payload.

Many thanks

Hi

No, this will not work… as listed in the docs you need to also use the same property name in your JSON, so it should be:

{

“userCredentials”: { … same as before … }

}

Thanks Jason,

nope, I am using the 2.17. But will migrate to the 2.18 this afternoon. Will test it and let you know.

So in the 2.17 I would need to introduce all the information of the user again in the payload?

Thanks

Jose

You need to send the full payload. Are you on 2.18? you could use PATCH for this now… something like

{

“password”: “new-password”

}

curl -X PATCH -d @password.json -u user:pass http://localhost:8080/api/users/ID/password

(untested, but should work)

Thanks Jason,

sorry, and how should it work? I tried with the following call…

curl.exe -d @user.json “http://localhost:8080/dhis/api/users/oEiOvqVp3A9” -H “Content-Type:application/json” -u myuser:mypasswd -v

where the user.json file just contains

{

“username”: “the_user_name”,

“password”: “the_user_passwd”

}

But the system gives me an error

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi Jose,

Yes, it is possible to send the plain-text password of a user to the

system using the API, which will then hash the password for you and

persist it in the database.

Best regards,

Jason

Hi devs,

I didn’t see anything in the documentation in that regard. I could only find

out the user replication as the only way to specify a user passwd using the

API. Am I correct?

Thanks

An example can be seen under "user account invitations" in web api docs:

Thanks Lars, Morten,

Now the payload I am using is:

{

“userCredentials”:

{“password”: “new_passwd”,

“id”: “AMuabF1Lrct”,

“name”: “user_name”,

“code”: “user_code”,

“created”: “2014-11-27T18:24:05.888+0000”, (Do I need this?)

“lastUpdated”: “2015-02-11T11:57:58.116+0000”} (Do I need this?)

}

But still getting the same message: “Unknown payload format”.

You need to include the content-type of what you are sending.

-H “Content-Type: application/json”

ups… You are right, I completely forgot the Content-Type, sorry.

Almost there. The tomcat console gives me the following message:

INFO 2015-02-11 14:23:26,119 ‘devapp’ update org.hisp.dhis.user.User, name: xxxx, uid: zNdlm77vil8 (AuditLogUtil.java [http-apr-8080-exec-9])

So everything seems to be correct, but when I try to log in the system with that user, still has the old passwd…

Also, I am getting an error in the curl output. I am copying it here (maybe it is not very useful):

{color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}–>
