User Management API

These endpoints manage OTVI application users, independent of provider-specific sessions.

Password Policy

All accepted passwords must contain:

• at least 8 characters
• at least one uppercase ASCII letter
• at least one digit

The same policy is enforced for registration, password change, admin-created users, and admin password resets.

Register

POST /api/auth/register

Creates a new user and returns a JWT plus the created user object.

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user": {
    "id": "d8b5d2a9-...",
    "username": "john",
    "role": "admin",
    "providers": [],
    "must_change_password": false
  }
}

• id is a UUID string
• providers: [] means unrestricted access to all loaded providers
• the first registered user becomes admin

Login

POST /api/auth/login

Authenticates a user and returns:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user": {
    "id": "d8b5d2a9-...",
    "username": "john",
    "role": "admin",
    "providers": [],
    "must_change_password": false
  }
}

must_change_password is embedded in the returned user state so the frontend can immediately show the forced password-change overlay when needed.

Get Current User

GET /api/auth/me

Returns the current user object.

{
  "id": "d8b5d2a9-...",
  "username": "john",
  "role": "admin",
  "providers": [],
  "must_change_password": false
}

This endpoint is exempt from the must_change_password guard so the frontend can discover that state during boot.

Change Password

POST /api/auth/change-password

Request body:

{
  "current_password": "OldPass1",
  "new_password": "NewSecure2Pass"
}

Successful response returns a fresh JWT and refreshed user payload:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user": {
    "id": "d8b5d2a9-...",
    "username": "john",
    "role": "user",
    "providers": [],
    "must_change_password": false
  }
}

When must_change_password was set, a successful password change clears the flag immediately.

Logout

POST /api/auth/logout

The server returns success and the frontend is expected to clear otvi_jwt locally.

{
  "success": true
}
