It seems there were changes between 12.0.0 and 12.0.1.

In 12.0.0, it was a POST request
In 12.0.1, it's a PUT request

I also checked with curl:

curl -X PUT -v -H "OCS-APIRequest: true" -d 'key=language' -d 'value=fr' -u 'admin:xxxxxxx' https://cloud.xxxx.be/ocs/v2.php/cloud/users/admin

In the meantime, I really need to change the language of users because the calendars show the dates in the wrong format.

Can I just change a value in the db for each user and that will be enough to activate everything needed?

Yes, that should work.

The error you are seeing above seems to point to an authentication error.
It works fine for me on my development instance:

$ curl -k -v https://nextcloud13.local/ocs/v2.php/cloud/users/admin -d key=language -d value=sv -u admin:admin -H 'OCS-APIRequest: true' -X PUT

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

</ocs>

quenenni · 2017-09-25T16:23:46Z

I didn't know the curl command and more or less copied from another post/
I tried with the same params and params format as you:

curl -k -v https://cloud.xxxxx.net/ocs/v2.php/cloud/users/admin -d key=language -d value=fr -u admin:admin -H 'OCS-APIRequest: true' -X PUT

and the answer is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ocs>
 <meta>
  <status>failure</status>
  <statuscode>997</statuscode>
  <message></message>
 </meta>
 <data/>

You say you need more infos.
What infos do you need exactly?

nickvergessen · 2017-09-25T18:16:42Z

Well 997 means the user trying to perform the request is invalid or the password is wrong

quenenni · 2017-09-25T18:22:41Z

I'm sorry, but my login / passwd are good

I have the same problem when I try to change from inside the web interface, and if I'm there, it means I'm logged correctly.

quenenni · 2017-09-25T18:27:00Z

But I just discovered that v12.0.3 doesn't have the problem. I can change the language.
As I have to upgrade all my instances to v12.0.3 because of another nasty bug, I guess this problem is not a problem anymore.
It's more up to you now to decide if you want to correct that for v12.0.1... or close the ticket.
(well, if you need me more tests, I'll gladly do them)

Thanks a lot for having taken the time to help me.
