Programmatically Expiring Passwords

Hello all,

When I log in though SOAP, the API returns a LoginResult object, that contains a passwordExpired boolean flag.

Is it possible to set this flag programmatically from the API?

Thanks.

You can call reset password for a user, which basically requires them to change their password the next time they login.  You can also call setPassword.  Check out the documentation on those calls

Thank you for your reply,

I am aware of both methods ... my question is, if i call setPassword, can i make that password expire?

thank you

Only reset password can make it expire.

You could also look at delegated authentication, where you then have total control over password management.  This could allow you to do single sign on, integrate with ldap, etc, but this is a bit more work to implement.

Thank you for your reply, Benjasik

How would this be done? Would i simply use one known user to access the appexchange api and handle all authentication internally ?

Is there any documentation on this "delegated authentication"?

thank you
