Rest APl request URL

[lalitsharma1]

I have been trying to set us a basic rest call to RSA Archer for login. I was able to extract the following URL for making the call from API guides and forums

http://RsaArcher/api/core/security/login

But when a call in made to this URL. I receive an error "java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "rsaarcher": No address associated with hostname"

I did verify a proper internet connection before testing it. The platform is Android.

So what should be the hostname in this case?

Unless the password was expired or when creating the API account the Force Password Change On Next Sign-in wasn't clear.  Of neither, the setting technically shouldn't have impacted the account login in via the APIs.

Yep, thought so. Thanks for the clarification.

We have a special parameter for datafeeds and integrations on which the passwords expire after 365 days; unfortunately, someone (who wasn’t me) configured the parameter to remind and prompt for change when passwords were expiring in 999 days or less. So prompts were happening even though the passwords were brand new.

You can turn off the reminders in the parameter, but there’s still no option to set password expiration to ‘never’, so a more informative message through the API might be helpful.

Agree, there should be an option for password not to expire.  Time to submit an idea, RSA Ideas for the RSA Archer Suite 

The other thing is to set the email address for those types of accounts to an Archer administration mailbox so that at least you can be warned ahead of time something is about to go wrong with the account
