REST API returns error 500 - (Internal Server Error) after Avamar 19.12 upgrade
Hi,
After upgrading Avamar from 19.8 to 19.12, the REST API calls for creating users fail with error code 500 (Internal Server Error). At the same time, a java.lang.NullPointerException is recorded in the mc-rest-api.log file.
The REST API generally works (e.g. the "GET v1/users" for listing the users still works well.
The full version is 19.12.0-186_HF338905
Anyone has any hints?
Thanks,
Aris

Just found that there's a change in the user creation parameters between 19.8 and 19.12 - two additional (mandatory?) parameters were added:
{
"authSystem": "string",
"authority": "string",
"domain": "string",
"internalAccount": true,
"password": "string",
"passwordExpiraryDate": 0,
"passwordExpireDays": 0,
"readOnly": true,
"rootUser": true,
"userName": "string"
}
