Hi

Alfresco only managaes its internal users. If you want it create users in your SSO environment i tcna be done but you have to code this.
There is always some other way to create users - you go to AD direct etc etc.
If authentication is external then the managemet of authentication ids, credentials is also external.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the response. I am happy with the creation of users, but the issue is conditional rendering of links in the admin console. If a user is an administrator and authenticates via SSO then some of the links do not appear in the admin console (case in point: the "Create user" link).

I assume that there is some check made before rendering these links, to make sure the user is an administrators and should see the links.
This is not working because the user has been authenticated via SSO code not via the standard login page and the user object is not created correctly.

I have had a look at the SSO code and the login page code, and the config files that define the UI but didn't find an answer. I was hoping you could tell me what checks are made and where to find the code that does it.

thanks

-Mike
