Passwords endpoints
When local users forget their Puppet Enterprise (PE) passwords
or lock themselves out of PE by attempting to log in with
incorrect credentials too many times, you must generate a password reset token for them. Use
the password endpoints to generate password reset tokens, use tokens to
reset passwords, change the authenticated user's password, and validate potential user names
and passwords.
The
password endpoints are for
managing local user accounts within PE. You can't use
these endpoints to modify user information in SAML or LDAP.By default, users can make 10 login attempts before being locked out. You
can change the amount of allowed attempts by configuring the
failed-attempts-lockout parameter.You can reset the PE console admin password with a password reset script available on the PE console node.
