creating a new user

[Former Member]

hi,

iam writing a program to create a new user in the portal. ins there any method to capture the password as requested by the user and assign the same to him during his first logon into the portal? also is commit() and save() enough to create a new user or any other detail is to be followed?

Hi Arun,

u getting some error?

[Former Member]

hi,

Iam not getting any error at all. infact after i enter the details and click submit the page gets refreshed. also i have put certain values in quotes as newUser.setCellPhone("mobileNumber"); iam not yet picking this data and trying to create a user with the basic details. any pointers? its urgent too.

Hi Arun,

so it seems that you have a problem with the portal component itself, not with the UME coding. Am I right?

Hi Arun,

There is a possiblity.

When you create a new user, you can set the password in the code itself.

<u>Example</u>:

<i><b>String uid = "saras";

IUserMaint newUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().newUser(uid);

newUser.setFirstName("saras");

newUser.setLastName("saras");

newUser.setEmail("saras@kpitsap.com");

newUser.commit();

IUserAccount uacc =UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().newUserAccount(uid,newUser.getUniqueID());

uacc.setPassword("saras");</b></i>

Using the above code am creating a new user named "saras".

-

---

Now if I add this below statement, this would allow the user an option to change the password the first time she/he logs into Portal.

<b>uacc.setPasswordChangeRequired(true);</b>

If set to true - option enabled

If set to false - option disabled.

Hope this helps solve your query.

All the best!

Warm Regards,

Hello Arun,

In the situation that you describe, at the first login, the password of the user should be stored in it's password field. Only I guess that the user cannot login, because the userid need be assigned a password for a succesful login.

You're assuming that the user doesn't have a password when attempting to logon for the first time, so why not use a default password (or generate one) and set this as an administrator. Then, request the user to change it's password at first login (the possibility of an user changing it's password is an UME property which needs to be enabled for this).

Good luck.

Walter
