How to authenticate to Savinyt APIs in an SSO enabled Instance with a local user

[hg_sav]

Hi All,

We are trying to authenticate to Saviynt APIs using a local user in a SSO Enabled Instance, but its failing with a 401 Error. We checked various forum posts and it appears it has been disabled in the newer versions. Ref - (https://forums.saviynt.com/t5/identity-governance/sso-bypass-url-backdoor-access-for-emergency/m-p/5...).

What are the options available to execute Saviynt APIs programatically?

Thanks for your time.

1. Validate the attribute "passwordexpired" is false
2. Validate the attribute "accountlocked" is false
3. Reset the password of the user from Admin Functions - > Admin Function and reset the password
4. Use saviynt updateUser API to update the "passwordexpired" to false after resetting the password.
