Question

Using an API and OpenID to get username information

0

Hi - I am trying to automate the re-certification of Mendix portal users. I can get lists of OpenIDs using the User Management API which is great, but I cannot work out how to relate these OpenIDs to an actual user in order to get their username (or any other profile info). Does anyone know how this can be done? Thanks Adrian

Unfortunately that isn't something that can be done as of right now.

The user name currently must be the token provided by MxId, e.g: https://mxid2.mendixcloud.com/mxid2/id?id=4e7ac3ef-d473-457d-9ca0-741cffec7cf4
You do get the user's display name / full name. But that is all the information you can currently request from MxId.

If you enter a ticket explaining which kind of information you would like to retrieve through the API we can put this on the roadmap.
