Enable/Disable user programmatically

gommo — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 23:42:58 GMT

I'm creating users via a custom UserRegistry returning NodeDescription with properties. e.g. PropertyMap properties = node.getProperties(); properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, user.getName()); properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, user.getFirstName()); properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_L

Yes, once you create the user you need to create authentication for that user which will enable the user in repo.

I'm not sure I totally follow. The user exists in the repo. I just don't seem to be able to control the enable/disable flag.

e.g.

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled(user.getName(), false);

logger.debug(" Is this user mutable? " + authenticationService.isAuthenticationMutable(user.getName()) + " ,enabled? " + authenticationService.getAuthenticationEnabled(user.getName()));
logger.debug(" Is person enabled? " + personService.isEnabled(user.getName()));

The above outputs that the user is mutable and enabled even though the first line specifically disables the user.

SO I'm at a loss as to how to properly control the enable/disable of a user account.
Similar I guess to this thread which doesn't have a resolution either - http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/installation-upgrades-configuration-integration/authentication-ldap-sso/synchronise#comment-141025
