What you will have to do is call the repository via one of the remote interfaces.

Probably your best bet is to use a web script and the latest version of Alfresco already has a script to create a person.

I tried that, to use the people Javascript API, but when I try to use the object people to call the method people.getPerson(userName), for example… I get an error telling me that people doesn't exist and I supose it is not available form Surf, only from Alfresco…

This is my question because I cannot be so difficult…

Thanks

Web Script. Not Java Script. You need to post JSON to the appropriate URL.

Hi mrogers!

Finally I got to post a new JSON object with the data of a new person and Alfresco creted it, but I couldn't assign it a password and after create it I cannot remove it, because of an error…. I send a POST to /api/people…

I was reading about this problem, but I don't know if it has been fixed or what to do to make it properly.

Please help me.
Thank you very much.
