Unable to delete users using web service

I also noticed that the following entry in the node_properties table is still available for users that

Thanks for the update rwetheral. In the meantime, do you know how I can remove these orphan authentication records? I have some users who were deleted using the web service and now need to be recreated (using their original usernames). Some of these users have also created content. Is there a way I can remove the authentication records from the database so that alfresco will not throw a duplicate user exception when I try to recreate the user?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you login in alfresco with the user's login and password, you'll could find it in alfresco admin panel.

Sorry for my english :lol:

Hi all.

Lorel, I think adamss would like to completely remove the user from the repository via web services and, more in general, programatically and not using the control panel for the administrator.

I have the same problem, it could be great if someone tell us the best way to remove the orphan authentication records.

Would it be enough to delete the orphan record from the alf_nodes database table? Are there any other references to the user inside different tables?

Many thanks to all.

All the best,

Sergio

Hi

Duplicate users are handled in 2.0. (Duplicates will be split, deleted, or one picked …)
