How to delete a user via UME

[cand1]

Hi everybody,

I've created a user with the following lines:

String testUserId = "User0815";

IUserMaint user = userFactory.newUser(testUserId);

user.setFirstName("firstname");

user.setLastName("lastname");

user.setEmail("first.last@test.de");

user.commit();

IUserAccount userAccount = userAccountFactory.newUserAccount(testUserId, user.getUniqueID());

userAccount.setPassword("secret");

userAccount.setPasswordChangeRequired(false);

userAccount.save();

userAccount.commit();

This works fine, but afterwards I want to the delete the user and the according account with

IUser userToDelete = userFactory.getUserByLogonID(testDUserId);

userFactory.deleteUser(userToDelete.getUniqueID());

The second call to

IUserMaint user = userFactory.newUser(testUserId);

gives me a com.sap.security.api.UserAlreadyExistsException, i.e. it seems the user was not deleted. So my question is, what's the right way to delete an user?

Best Regards,

Daniel

Hi,

What is your data source? Check whether the userid actually present there? Were any exceptions raised? Put a print in the catch statement and see if there is any error.

The code you have given seems to be correct, except that I did it as below and it worked. Try this way.

IUser user=uf.getUserByUniqueName(strUserID);

String strUniqueUserID=user.getUniqueID();

uf.deleteUser(strUniqueUserID);

Good luck

Hi Bhanu,

IUser userToDelete = userFactory.getUserByUniqueName(testDUserId);

was the key.

BTW: The difference between getUserByUniqueName() and getUserByLogonID() is not clear to me, but never mind, it works.

Thanks,

Daniel

To view the difference in EP6:

User Admin -> Roles -> do a search on the userid -> edit

you will see the unique id differs quite a bit from the user id. Same for roles etc...
