API Enhancement for GET ManagedAccounts

Change the behaviour of this call: "GET ManagedAccounts" so that, in the absence of any additional parameters, it returns all the managed accounts that are available to the requestor making the call.


This would be of benefit to anyone writing code to consume this API node for the purposes of automatic password checkout in scripts.


There is already a query parameter "type" that is listed as "optional/recommended" but no default value is shown.

Alternatively, update the documentation to show:

the default value of the "type" query parameter (p185)

And change the "Purpose" (p184)

from:

"Returns a list of managed accounts (or a single managed account depending on the query parameters provided) that can be requested by the current user."

to:

"Returns a list of managed accounts of a single type (or a single managed account depending on the query parameters provided) that can be requested by the current user.

    ... further to previous ...

    looks like v5.2.4 of pbpsapi.py in the Resource Pack addressed this same behaviour

    It seems that an API user who has access to check out passwords for multiple account types must specify the account type in the API call:

    /ManagedAccounts?systemName=TGTSys&accountName=TGTAcc

    fails when the requesting user can check out passwords for both type=system and type=domainlinked, and TGTAcc is a domain account linked to TGTSys


    but:

    /ManagedAccounts?type=domainlinked&systemName=TGTSys&accountName=TGTAcc

    works fine for the same requesting user.

    If "type" is an optional query parameter, then it's reasonable to expect the call to work without it. If "type" isn't an optional query parameter, then it's reasonable to ask that the documentation should make this clear.

    Or have I missed something blindingly obvious ? Happy to be corrected ...

    Can you expand on how retrieving all possible accounts helps with scripts that use managed credentials?
