store some user properties/attributes

[Former Member]

Hi,

i need to store some user properties(or attributes-is there any difference?), i think that i should use some object implementing IUserMaint, but where i can take that object?

and then where are save that data when i call st like putAttribute(user comes from ldap so are then data stored in ldap too or are stored in database?)?

thanks

JJ

Hi JJ,

IUserFactory.getMutableUser(java.lang.String uniqueId)

How to find out by yourself in general: Within JavaDoc, click on the Interface in question, here: IUserMaint, then click on "Use" on top. Et Voilà: "Methods in com.sap.security.api that return IUserMaint " and you're done The only thing which is not so nice is that the portal APIs are documented very, very rare and that for this reason this does not work always (as it should).

Concerning storing (don't forget to commit changes): Ask Robert for details (Roooobert!)... But you can just try and check out...

Hope it helps
