[AAA-120] idmtool doesn't handle invalid user input

Thu, 21 Nov 2019 19:50:02 +0000

The existing idmtool doesn't really read the response of the HTTP request it makes. For example, if you do "./idmtool admin change-password xxx", where xxx is an invalid user id. The server returns an error with message "user not found". However, the idmtool doesn't check the message but assuming the userid is correct, so it will throw exception as expected fields are not there:

bin/idmtool admin change-password user
Password:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./idmtool", line 313, in <module>
change_password(user, password, args.userid[0])
File "./idmtool", line 228, in change_password
del existing['salt']
KeyError: 'salt'
