vIDM Locl user password reset without email link

When resetting config admin or any local user password in VMware identity manager will trigger an email link, if in case the smtp is not working/configured we can use API call to reset the password. You can use any method to call API, here I have a sample python script which i created to reset the local admin password.

import requests
import json
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

vidmFQDN = "vidmfqdn"
vidmUser = "admin"
vidmPass ="adminpassword"

userLogin   = "localusername"
userNewPass   = "newlocaluserpassword"


url = "https://{}/SAAS/API/1.0/REST/auth/system/login".format(vidmFQDN)
payload = '{{"username":"{}","password":"{}","issueToken":"true"}}'.format(vidmUser, vidmPass)
headers ={"accept":"application/json","Content-Type":"application/json"}

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers, verify=False)
session_token=response.json()['sessionToken']

url = "https://{}/SAAS/jersey/manager/api/scim/Users?filter=%20userName%20eq%20%22{}%22".format(vidmFQDN,userLogin)
headers = {
       'Authorization': 'Bearer '+session_token,
       'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'accept': 'application/json'
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, verify=False)
jsonObj=response.json()
userid=jsonObj['Resources'][0]['id']

url = "https://{}/SAAS/jersey/manager/api/scim/Users/{}".format(vidmFQDN,userid)
payload='{{"password":"{}"}}'.format(userNewPass)

response = requests.request("PATCH", url, data=payload, headers=headers, verify=False)
print(response)
