Orchestrator API - Update modern Unattended Robot password

Help Orchestrator
1

Hi

We are running Orchestrator on-premise 2020.10 and we are trying to convert to Modern Folders. I have created a new AD robot user and machine template, which is using a NonProduction license. The user has assigned an UnAttended robot.
Everything seems OK and processes can be run/started from Orchestrator.
However when we need to change the password for the user/robot the AD Password change goes OK, but when I am trying to change the user/UnattendedRobot password through Swagger, then the changes are not saved?
(but when I change the robot password manually in Orchestrator, then the change works)

I am using the following swagger entry:
/odata/Users({key})
{ "UnattendedRobot": { "UserName": "domain\\robot19", "Password": "password" } }

Curl:

curl -X PATCH "https://orchestrator.domain.com/odata/Users(303)" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"UnattendedRobot\": { \"UserName\": \"domain\\robot19\", \"Password\": \"password\" }}"

The swagger response is 200 Success

What am I missing from updating the AD users assigned UnattendedRobot password?

Best Regards,
Martin

Hi @BennyS

I solved the issue by splitting the process in:

  1. Get the user (GET /odata/Users({key}))
  2. Change/set the Unattended Password
    –
    “UnattendedRobot”: {
    “Password”: “new password”,
    …
    –
  3. Update the user with at PUT call (with the changed password) (PUT /odata/Users({key}))

I hope this helps.

Best Regards, Martin

Hey @mmc
thank you for your fast response! I just achieved the same solution - according to the common phenomenon that when you ask for something, you will find it on your own out of a sudden.

Right now I am just struggling how to convert the modified jsonobject to the required jsonpayload for the PUT request

EDIT: Nevermind, just toString().

Thanks!
