h1. Update user
h2. Syntax
User can be updated by posting xml representation of the user to below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/user{code}
Normally you do not need to create the xml from scratch: you may retrieve xml representation of the user using http GET method, modify certain parts of the xml and post back to above url.
The response is of mime type _text/plain_ and the content is string representation of the user id being updated.
{info}The _password_ element in the posted xml should be encrypted form. To encrypt password, please access below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/encrypt?password=<plain password>{code}
Here _<plain password>_ represents for clear text of the password, and the response is of mime type _plain/text_ and the content is encrypted form of the password.

You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as administrator if the anonymous does not have administrative rights.
h2. Demo
We will use [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] to demonstrate how to modify password of user _admin_ to be _12345_:
# Retrieve xml representation of user _admin_ into a temp file using below command:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/user?name=admin > tempfile.xml{code}
# Encrypt password _12345_ using below command:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/encrypt?password=12345{code}
# Edit _tempfile.xml_ and change the _password_ property to take encrypted form of password _12345_.
# Post back modified content using below command:
{code}curl -X POST -u admin:admin -d @tempfile.xml -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/user{code}
h1. Create user
h2. Syntax
User can be created by posting xml representation of the user to below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/user{code}
Please note that the posted xml should NOT contain the _id_ element; otherwise, QuickBuild will treat the post as an updating to the user with that id.
Normally you do not need to create the xml from scratch: you may retrieve xml representation of a templating user using http GET method, remove the _id_ element, modify certain parts and post back to above url.
The response is of mime type _text/plain_ and the content is string representation of id of the newly created user.
{info}The _password_ element in the posted xml should be encrypted form. To encrypt password, please access below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/encrypt?password=<plain password>{code}
