Migration of Users into Alfresco

[amitabhandari1]

HI

I want to import users into Alfresco 3B.
I created two files :

person.xml

<view:view xmlns:view="http://www.alfresco.org/view/repository/1.0"
           xmlns:cm="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0"
           xmlns:sys="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0"
           xmlns:app="http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0"
           xmlns:usr="http://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0" >               
         <cmerson view:childName="cmerson">
             <cm:userName>Carol</cm:userName>
            <cm:firstName>Carol</cm:firstName>
            <cm:lastName>Millionkkkk</cm:lastName>
             <cm:email></cm:email>
            <cmrganizationId></cmrganizationId>
              </cmerson>
            </view:view>

and alfrescoUserStore.xml

<view:view xmlns:view="http://www.alfresco.org/view/repository/1.0"
           xmlns:cm="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0"
           xmlns:sys="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0"
           xmlns:app="http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0"
         xmlns:usr="http://www.alfresco.org/model/user/1.0">
          <usr:user view:childName="usr:user">
                        <usr:username>Carol</usr:username>
                        <usrassword>Carol</usrassword>  
                        <usr:enabled>true</usr:enabled>
                        <usr:accountExpires>false</usr:accountExpires>
                        <usr:credentialsExpire>false</usr:credentialsExpire>
                        <usr:accountLocked>false</usr:accountLocked>
                    </usr:user>
</view:view>

users gets created but two users created with the same userid  as well both have the problem in synch.

Kindly suggest something if i am missing.

Hi Amita,
Even though users may have the same username, they have surely been assigned different UUIDs. You can force the uuid inside those xmls by adding a line such as:

<sys:node-uuid>4489977c-25b4-4980-ab2e-6d6307472bfa</sys:node-uuid>‍

The UUIDs assigned by Alfresco are random-generated by using the org.alfresco.util.GUID.generate() method. You could generate your own UUIDs for those users, and import the users adding the  -uuidBinding UPDATE_EXISTING argument to the import commands you're executing.

Cheers!

HIHernan,

I have tried the way you suggested on the enterprise version of Alfresco 3.0.
yes , this time it created single user only but I am not able to login with this user.
And if I modify the properites of this user then again suddenly it seems that another user also gets created with the same username.

Please suggest as I am not getting anything.
