PasswordManagement

Use this API to implement password management functionality. With this functionality in place, users can manage their identity passwords for all their applications.

In Identity Security Cloud, users can select their names in the upper right corner of the page and use the drop-down menu to select Password Manager. Password Manager lists the user's identity's applications, possibly grouped to share passwords. Users can then select 'Change Password' to update their passwords.

Grouping passwords allows users to update their passwords more broadly, rather than requiring them to update each password individually. Password Manager may list the applications and sources in the following groups:

  • Password Group: This refers to a group of applications that share a password. For example, a user can use the same password for Google Drive, Google Mail, and YouTube. Updating the password for the password group updates the password for all its included applications.

  • Multi-Application Source: This refers to a source with multiple applications that share a password. For example, a user can have a source, G Suite, that includes the Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Mail applications. Updating the password for the multi-application source updates the password for all its included applications.

  • Applications: These are applications that do not share passwords with other applications.

An organization may require some authentication for users to update their passwords. Users may be required to answer security questions or use a third-party authenticator before they can confirm their updates.

Refer to Managing Passwords for more information about password management.

query-password-info

This API is used to query password related information.

A token with API authority is required to call this API. "API authority" refers to a token that only has the "client_credentials" grant type, and therefore no user context. A personal access token or a token generated with the authorization_code grant type will NOT work on this endpoint, and a 403 Forbidden response will be returned.

set-identity-password

This API is used to set a password for an identity.

An identity can change their own password (as well as any of their accounts' passwords) if they use a token generated by their ISC user, such as a personal access token or "authorization_code" derived OAuth token.

A token with API authority can be used to change any identity's password or the password of any of the identity's accounts. "API authority" refers to a token that only has the "client_credentials" grant type.

Note: If you want to set an identity's source account password, you must enable PASSWORD as one of the source's features. You can use the PATCH Source endpoint to add the PASSWORD feature.

You can use this endpoint to generate an encryptedPassword (RSA encrypted using publicKey). To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Use Query Password Info to get the following information: identityId, sourceId, publicKeyId, publicKey, accounts, and policies.

  2. Choose an account from the previous response that you will provide as an accountId in your request to set an encrypted password.

  3. Use Set Identity's Password and provide the information you got from your earlier query. Then add this code to your request to get the encrypted password:

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import java.security.KeyFactory;
import java.security.PublicKey;
import java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec;
import java util.Base64;

String encrypt(String publicKey, String toEncrypt) throws Exception {
byte[] publicKeyBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(publicKey);
byte[] encryptedBytes = encryptRsa(publicKeyBytes, toEncrypt.getBytes("UTF-8"));
return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(encryptedBytes);
}

private byte[] encryptRsa(byte[] publicKeyBytes, byte[] toEncryptBytes) throws Exception {
PublicKey key = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA").generatePublic(new X509EncodedKeySpec(publicKeyBytes));
String transformation = "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding";
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(transformation);
cipher.init(1, key);
return cipher.doFinal(toEncryptBytes);
}

In this example, toEncrypt refers to the plain text password you are setting and then encrypting, and the publicKey refers to the publicKey you got from the first request you sent.

You can then use Get Password Change Request Status to check the password change request status. To do so, you must provide the requestId from your earlier request to set the password.
