How can I update user password with sap bo rest api?

[Can4]

Hi

I want to update user password. I found below informations.

POST http://host:<port>/biprws/v1/users/password

Request body;

{
   "oldpassword":"",
   "newpassword":""
}

But I dont have a oldpassword I want to assign the new password directly without using the old one because I dont have oldpassword. How can I update user password with only using new password or how can I get oldpassword to using above method.

Thanks

You may want to look into the "Modifying User Details" section of the RESTful Web Service Developer Guide. The one you listed only modifies it for the current user which would be the one you used when you got the token. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_BUSINESSOBJECTS_BUSINESS_INTELLIGENCE_PLATFORM/db6a17c0d1214fd6971de66...

Not possible for security reasons, if you do not have the old password, you cannot change the password

IUser user = (IUser)tmpUser; user.setNewPassword(MD5.getUserPassword(userID)); This code, written using Java SDK, does not require the old password. Isn't there an equivalent for this in the rest service?
