Hi,

I'm using the pwm web frontend to reset forgotten passwords, which is working well for quite some time now. I recently found out now about the rest api, which offers various functions to be implemented in my own application.

In the web interface, I just have to provide my basic login information (user name and email address) and the answers to 2 secret questions. Then I can set a new password for my account without knowing the former one.

However, after looking through the documentation and source code for quite some time now, I still couldn't find a way to reset my password in case I've forgotten it only using the rest api. I planned to implement api function calls in my own application.

Is it even possible to reset a forgotten password with just the rest api, or do I have to make calls to the web interface in my application?

Sincerely,

prat...@appviewx.com

Hi Lizenzma and others,
I have same question. Is there any REST API available. If so i already have Automation tool with it own Web interface etc. I can use REST API and integrate this tool easily.
Any help would be great
