+I know there's a password reset feature via security question on the UI. Is it possible to do this through a REST call? This is to test a client self service password reset. If not, will this be a feature in the future? (edited)

+Yes, it's possible to do this via a REST call. An example can be found on this Evolveum docs page by searching for the string "Execute Password Reset" : https://docs.evolveum.com/midpoint/reference/master/interfaces/rest/endpoints/users/#modify-user-objects
+If you use Java in your organization there is also the option of using the MidPoint Client Library to execute these types of operations. See: https://docs.evolveum.com/midpoint/reference/support-4.8/interfaces/midpoint-client-java/

+Hi Dennis. Thanks for the reply. Does this prompt the security questions to be answered? In this example we are using the administrator to reset the password. I'm currently looking for documentation about the resetMethod. I'm assuming there's more than just that one listed in the example (edited)
