Deprecated Features and Important Changes

  1. If the account password has expired after a predefined duration, or if the "Enforce Password Change on First Login" option has been configured against the password policy:
    • The "Set New Password" API will no longer be supported with the user credentials and shall only work with the client credentials token. Furthermore, the query parameter "q" which was optional, previously, is now a required parameter.
    • For the "Authentication" API, the "x-change-password" response header which used to hold a bearer token, previously, has now been replaced with the value of the Query parameter "q".
  1. For the "Reset Password", "Set New Password", "Activation", and "Forgot Password" APIs, the "System Settings" API will only return the "password_policy" object if accessed via the user token.
  2. The "Get User Activity Log Details" API has been deprecated. Its functionalities have been incorporated into the "Get User Activity Logs" API. Please refer to the "Get User Activity Logs" API for the updated and consolidated features.
  3. In the "Get Enterprise Advanced Settings" and the "Update Enterprise Advanced Settings" APIs, the response and request parameters have been updated to lowercase. To continue using them, the user needs to reconfigure these APIs as per the updated parameters.
