Hi,
I am maintaining user information in one table in my project and this user table consists of user name,first name,last name,password fields.I want to integrate this user information with Activiti. Is it mandatory to use ACT_ID_USER table in Activiti for user information or can we configure our own table with Actitviti instead of ACT_ID_USER table.

Which is the best way to integrate user information of my project with Activiti.

regards,
suresh

Could you implement your own identity service?

Hi,
Instead of developing our own Identity service is it possible to integrate with our own table for user functionality.
As per my opinion we can not integrate our own table for Activiti user functionality. Please let me know my opinion correct or not.

Hi sureshtellakula,

Is it mandatory to use ACT_ID_USER table

No, it is not mandatory

can we configure our own table with Actitviti instead of ACT_ID_USER table.

Identity service needs logic to transform data from table to service which is needed. That's why identity service implementation is needed.

Hi Suresh,

There is one implementation of IdentityService in the activiti's sources.
org.activiti.engine.impl.IdentityServiceImpl
e.g.


  public boolean checkPassword(String userId, String password) {
    return commandExecutor.execute(new CheckPassword(userId, password));
  }
