R80.20 REST API modify user object

JHJohansen — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 05:32:05 GMT

Is it possible to change CpmiUser type object through the REST API?

I know it can be searched for with /web_api/show-objects but I can't figure out if it's possible to modify the object through the REST API.

What exactly are you trying to do? Please elaborate.

It can be done using the generic-object API.
There are a few examples on CheckMates.

Sorry for the slight delay in response.

I'm working on automating manual tasks and try to update the expiry date for our client VPN users based on date value from Active Directory.

There are official APIs for this in R80.40 with a recent JHF or R81+.
It is recommended you upgrade and leverage those APIs versus trying to accomplish this in R80.20, which will be End of Support in the near future.
