Create a Password Policy

Number of APIs: 4

You can use password policies to create policies for specific user populations in an environment.

This use case illustrates the following operations supported by the PingOne APIs:

• Create a password policy that will be applied to a population.
• Create a population to which the password policy is applied.
• Create a user in the population.
• Set an initial password for the new user. The password must be changed when the user first signs on.
• Enable the user to update the password.

Workflow order of operations

To create and apply a password policy, you'll need to:

1. Make a POST request to {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/passwordPolicies to create the password policy you'll use.

2. Make a POST request to {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/populations to create a population for which you'll apply the password policy. You'll specify the password policy you created as the password policy for this population.

3. Make a POST request to {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users to create a user, assigning the user to the population you created.

4. Make a PUT request to {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}}/password to set an initial password for the new user.

5. Make another PUT request to {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}}/password, this time enabling the new user to specify their password.

1. Step 1: Create Password Policy POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/passwordPolicies

2. Step 2: Create Population POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/populations

3. Step 3: Create User POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users

4. Step 5: Update Password (Self) PUT {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}}/password
