REST API: Password expiry / change password prompt

Hello Dean Flinter,

My name is Nishant Garg from the Yellowfin Technical Support Team. We have received your support request, and I will be your primary contact on the following ticket:

Ticket Number: #34290
Case Title: REST API: Password expiry / change password prompt

Issue Overview:

Change of password configuration using RestApi

Next Steps and Workarounds:

Unfortunately, it is not possible via the Yellowfin REST API on any version. You can check our guide for available RestApi endpoints.

https://developers.yellowfinbi.com/dev/api-docs/current/

However, as you know, you can execute an update against the configuration database on the IpClass table after creating/updating the user:

As I tested, when a user is created or has their password set via the REST API (such as POST /api/admin/users or user update endpoints), YF's backend service automatically flags the password as expired/requiring reset (PasswordExpired = 'TRUE or 1' in the IpClass repository table).

Let me know if it helps!

Sincerely,

Nishant Garg
