Creating user and password in webdynpro for java

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to generate the password for the portal user created through code?

Note: Portal user is also created through wendynpro java code.

Hi,

for setting up the initial password for the user you can call the below method,When the user will logon he has to change the password if password change required is true after setting the custom password.

void setPasswordChangeRequired(boolean chng)

Sets the PasswordChangeRequired attribute of the IUserAccount object.

Updated:

also i think that in EP 7.0 after setting the pass when the user will logon portal will automatically prompt for the new passward even if you are not calling the passwordChangeRequired method,try it.

Also check the following WIKI for EP user creation and amendment.

same code mentioned in the WIKI can be used in WD java with small modifications:

Hi,

Basic requirement of Change password is:

you should provide original password.

In any case with out providing original password if you are changing tha password, it is technically equlas to set a new password.

User's loggin doesn't always means first name or second name. If you have User Management tab available in portal, then search for any user, there you can see a field named Loggin Id. Technical name to access this parametre is IUser.getUniqueName().

Hi,

yes you can change a user's password through WDJava.

Change Password:

try{

IUserFactory userfact = UMFactory.getUserFactory();

//get user id of the user to change the password

String userId = wdContext.currentLicenceUsersOutputVNElement().getUserid();

//get user object

IUser specifiedUser = userfact.getUserByLogonID(userId);

//get user maintance object

IUserMaint userMaint = userfact.getMutableUser(specifiedUser.getUniqueID());

//get user account

IUserAccount uacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().getUserAccountByLogonId(userId);

//create mutable user account

IUserAccount iuacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().getMutableUserAccount(uacc.getUniqueID());

iuacc.setPassword(wdContext.currentContextElement().getNewPassword());

iuacc.save();

iuacc.commit();

manager.reportSuccess("Password has been reset.");

}

catch (Exception e)

{

manager.reportException("error occured " + e , false);

e.printStackTrace();

}

Hi Karthi,

Can you see the user that you have created in UME of Portal ?

If you can, then you should be able to generate intial password for this user too.

Thanks & Regards,
