You can actually already do this if you want, both through endpoints and the admin
console. You just need to set a temporary password and afterwards remove the update
password required action. As Marek says though it doesn't really make sense to do so.

Subject: Re: [keycloak-user] Defining a new user password through REST API
Hi,
Is it good practice to define password for users this way? I assume that
usually just user himself should have access to his plain-text password and
be able to login with it?
If you really need this, there is just endpoint
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.0-beta-3/rest-api/admin/realms/%7Br...
for reset password, which is also used by admin console, but user needs to
choose new password when login for the first time after reset. So I assume
that this is the possibility you are already aware of.
But note that after this reset, you know user's temporary password, so you
can login with this temporary password and update password as user himself.
Then user doesn't need to do anything, you just need to say him his
password.
Another possibility is to create new REST endpoint by yourself, which will
use model API to do exactly what you want. For example see this
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/testsuite/tools which is
REST application for adding big number of new users. You can maybe use
something similar.

Hello again!
Is there a way for me to define a password for a user through the REST API
without him having to define a new one on the next login?
The only method I found to be close to what I want was the one that resets
the password, but I would like to redefine it without the user having
anything to do with it.
Is it possible?
