Hi @praveen,

To force the user to change password at the next login, you will need to to pass a query parameter `nextLogin=changePassword` to the create user call.  
I haven’t tried it out but this is the method used to create the user -

Notice the `Okta.Sdk.UserNextLogin nextLogin` argument to this method. You will have to set it accordingly.
