Change user password via API

Is there a way to change users password via API? I'm trying to do like this (loged in as admin): http://domain.com/api/xml?action=princi … 3eyz2n35mv
I get status Ok, but no password has been changed. I need this so I can use SSO SAML 2 authentication as authentication method as we use it for number of other sites.

thanks!

The action you want is user-update-pwd

I note that this password change method does not "stick", it works once but does not prompt the user to change his pw. Anyone else.

I didn't try that, but it's not a problem for me as I'm not using AAC login page at all. I authenticate users on different (central) location and change his AAC password at every login as my custom login script dose not get users password (it only knows if user is authenticated or not).

Re: Change user password via API

I have been working with this and now I have got it working like it should. However there is a bit of a logic stmbling block. All that can be done for users who have forgotten thier password is to set them a new one based upon thier other identfying charactaristics. However this has security issues. Is there a way to 1) set a new password with the API 2) then rerquire the user to take some action (i.e. receive email, follow instructions) before password is in effect?
