Change Your Password

To change your own password, you can either use the web interface of TestEngine or send a request to the TestEngine API using curl, ReadyAPI, or any other similar tool.

Using API

Use the following operation:

PUT  http://<testengine-host>:8080/api/v1/users/{username}

See details on SwaggerHub in the ReadyAPI TestEngine API – Update User section.

Use the following command line:

curl -u "user:currentPassword" -X PUT "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users/{username}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"password\":\"newPassword\"}"

In this example:

Create a project by using the TestEngine API definition. See Creating Project From OpenAPI/Swagger Definition to learn how to do it.
Tip
You can also create the needed request from scratch.
Select the PUT request to the /api/v1/users/{username} resource:
Enter the username in the Value field of the username parameter:
Enter the new password in a JSON body:
```
{
  "password" : "string",
}
```
Open the Auth panel.
Select the Basic (Built-in) authorization type.
Tip
If you use the same credentials in several requests, use authorization profiles.
Specify the username and the current password and select the Authenticate pre-emptively option:
Send the request:
