[keycloak-user] Create user API in keycloak with default password

[Don Reynolds (dreynold)]

Hello Shubham,

Yes, this can be done.  Easiest way to see is to turn on developer tools in the browser and watch the network traffic as you use "Users->Credentials" tab in the Keycloak admin console to set a non-temporary password for a user.

Once you have created the user via the api, you can then call a second api call to " reset-password " to set the password.
It should looks something like this:

PUT
PUT /admin/realms/{realm}/users/{id}/reset-password

Request payload:
{"type":"password","value":"Password01","temporary":false}

The key is to set "temporary" to false.  Otherwise the user will be prompted to change their password next time they log in.

Hope that helps,
Don
