Note:

  • The default admin account will not be considered a HDT.
  • Ensure that you URL encode all the special and reserved characters used in REST API requests. Since the client sending the request (browser, postman or TP tools) does not fall under the purview ADManager Plus, encoding the URL for special, reserved and unsafe characters is solely the users' responsibility.

Reserved characters include ; /? : @ = &
Unsafe characters include < > # % { } | \ ^ ~ [ ] ` "'
