No one answering sofar?

I think this is serious issue since after customizing user and group, identity service still write to its own table. I just debug the code to verify that indeed the user and group creation happened after custom class that manage them successfully injected.

Perhaps some new stuff in version 5.19 change how to customize this functionality?

@harishashim: it just has been christmas holidays, don't expect people to answer that quickly. Also, you've been creating posts like crazy. I'm trying to answer them all, but it's not easy.

When plugging the user/group classes, nothing should be written to the tables.

When I look at the SaveUserCmd, i can see that the UserIdentityManager.class needs to be used, not the one you are using: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/master/modules/activiti-engine/src/main/java/org/activiti/engine/impl/cmd/SaveUserCmd.java#L41

If you check the LDAP impl for this, you can see it implements that class too: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/master/modules/activiti-ldap/src/main/java/org/activiti/ldap/LDAPUserManager.java#L49
