IJ35580: PASSWORD EXPIRY FEATURE OF MAXIMO IS NOT WORKING THROUGH REST API CALL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to reproduce the error:
  - Create new user e.g. test1
  - In backend, update PWEXPIRATION to an earlier date in maxuser
  table by sql statement
  - In POST, run below URL:
  GET: http://hostname/maximo/rest/os/MXPERUSER?loginid='test1';
  Headers: MAXAUTH
  
  Result:
  
  Maximo returns data from MXPERUSER object structure, this is
  unexpected.
  
  Expected result:
  
  Maximo returns error "BMXAA2283E - Your password has expired."
  
  The problem only occurs by REST API but not OSLC API, if run
  below URL, Maximo returns BMXAA2283E error.
  http://hostname/maximo/oslc/os/MXPERUSER?loginid='test1';
