Issue/Introduction

How can we automatically enter a changed/rotated password into the already defined LDAP Identity Provider Configuration of the API gateway?

We use therefore a product from HashiCorp, which offers an API interface for this purpose.

Resolution

To update the bind password in a existing ldap IDP  you can use a Graphman bundle and use the Graphman command utility to apply the updated config.

It can also be done using restman management api  to update a  existing idp with a new password, A restman GET  for the idp does not show the current password  but you can set a new one  by adding .

<l7:BindPassword>passwordnew</l7:BindPassword>
