Unable to Set User Password via REST API in OpenDJ

[anees-sequoiaat]

Context:

I have configured OpenDJ as an external data store for OpenAM and enabled the REST API. I am able to create users using the REST API successfully. For example, I created a user with the following command:

curl \
 --request PUT \
 --user admin:password \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-None-Match: *" \
 --data '{
  "_id": "newuser2",
  "_schema": "frapi:opendj:rest2ldap:user:1.0",
  "contactInformation": {
    "telephoneNumber": "+1 408 555 1212",
    "emailAddress": "newuser2@example.com"
  },
  "name": {
    "familyName": "New",
    "givenName": "User"
  },
  "displayName": ["New User"],
  "manager": {
    "_id": "admin",
    "displayName": "admin"
  }
 }' \
 http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/users/newuser2?prettyPrint=true

Problem:

The user is created successfully, but I am unable to log in with the newly created user from the OpenAM web login console because no password is set during the user creation process.

HTTP Endpoints:

HTTP Endpoint : Type               : enabled
--------------:--------------------:--------
/admin        : admin-endpoint     : true
/api          : rest2ldap-endpoint : true

Question:

1. How can I set or update the user password via the OpenDJ REST API?
2. Is there a specific key or method that should be used to set the password during user creation or immediately afterward?
3. Is there any other attribute or key that should be included in the user creation JSON to set the password correctly?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, Anees

I think you filed this against the wrong project.
