Enable/Disable user programmatically

[gommo]

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_LASTNAME, user.getLastName());
properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, user.getEmailAddress());

However, it appears some users are coming up as disabled, particularly when viewed via share.

What property or service methods are available to set the user to enabled.
I tried these two, PROP_ENABLED & PROP_MODEL_ACTIVE

But they didn't seem to affect share.

Thanks

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...
