Hi Sourabh,

Thanks for the clue.. I am able to create user by following  your instructions..

Can you give details how u have done this.Probably what is more important is the integration of the code. How to use the source code accordingly….
Please help..!

Hi Faisal,

The true is that I'm using CAS authentication to log in Alfresco because I have Liferay and Alfresco integrated. Can you tell me if you get some error when you try to log in? That would help to solve your problem. How do you put your password in Java? By the way I leave my last code here:

   
   //get the user data
            
      String userName;
      userName = user.getScreenName();   
      String passwd = user.getPassword();
      String firstName = user.getFirstName();
      String lastName = user.getLastName();
      String email = user.getEmailAddress();      
                  
      Map<QName, Serializable> props = null;
      props = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(5);
      // homeFolder value must be a nodeRef
      props.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, userName);
      props.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, firstName);
      props.put(ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME, lastName);
      props.put(ContentModel.PROP_PASSWORD, passwd);
      props.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, email);
      
      try{
         //WebApplicationContext configurationApplicationContext=WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(this.getServlet().getServletContext());
          
         //Alfresco connection
         
         peopleService = (PeopleServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("peopleService");
         searchService = (SearchServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("searchService");
         nodeService = (NodeServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("nodeService");
         
                        configurationApplicationContext=WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(this.getServlet().getServletContext());
               
                       authenticationService = (AuthenticationServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("authenticationService");                       
         
                       ticket = authenticationService.authenticate(repositoryUri, userid, password.toCharArray()); 
         
         //Create the user in Alfresco and add it to the convenient groups
         
         System.out.println("Creating the user called pruebaLray");
           NodeRef userRef = peopleService.createPerson(ticket, userName, passwd.toCharArray(), props);

Hi Witho,

Regarding your question:

I want to set the folder "Company Home" as the user folder home, if anyone knows a better way to get the nodeRef of "Company Home" and how to set the property homeFolder as "Company Home" y will apreciate any help.

The code that you had gets the root of Spaces Store which is the parent of "Company Home" . To get the noderef of Company home you need to use lucene query and search service.
      

         List<QName> properties = new Vector<QName>();
         properties.add(ContentModel.PROP_NAME);

         String query = "PATH:\"/app:company_home\"";

         nodes = searchService.query(ticket, new StoreRef("workspace://SpacesStore"), SearchService.QueryLanguage.lucene, query, 
                                 properties, false, false, false, false, null, 1, null);

         if (nodes != null) {
             for (Node node: nodes) {
                props.put(homeFolderQName, node.getNodeRef());
             }
          }

      ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks a lot, finally I found the solution with lucene search and I got success.

[faisal]

Hi thanks a lot for u r reply… I have been able to solve my problem in a different way though… After creating the user What i am doing is

authenticationService.setAuthenticationEnabled("username", true);

That solves the problem.

Any idea what should I do?
I am running on Alfresco Labs 3b on Windows Server 2003 with Tomcat and MySql database.

Hi all,
i'm using alfresco 3.2 r2 and i want to upgrade to 3.3 but i have developed some classes.
One of them contains:

authenticationService.createAuthentication("testUser","testUser".toCharArray());‍

And now it doesn't compile.
Why? Is it my Eclipse problem?
I have tried to download the 3.3 SDK but i have problem, so i configured the WEB-INF/lib folder.

Regards
