Since https://checkmk.com/werk/16111 it is possible to edit a rule via REST API, but if the rule contains a explicit password it is only possible to overwrite the password via API and not to modify the rule without changing the password.
Possible Solution Idea (SUP-27733):
Due to https://checkmk.com/werk/13722 passwords aren't accessable via REST API.
If the given length of a password in the PUT Rule Endpoint has same length as the password stored in rules.mk and the password via PUT Endpoint is completly with * than use the old password from rules.mk and not the ***** Password from PUT request. Otherwise it is not possible to modify these rules.
Password store is working correctly.
