Re: Creating Jahia Users

Hi Edd,

Here is the code used in our register new user engine.

                JahiaUser newUser = ServicesRegistry.getInstance().
                                    getJahiaUserManagerService().
                                    createUser(userName,
                                               password1,
                                               userName + ":" +
                                               Integer.toString(jParams.
                    getSiteID()),
                                               jParams.getSiteID(),
                                               userProperties);
                if (newUser != null) {
                    ServicesRegistry.getInstance().
                        getJahiaSiteUserManagerService().addMember(jParams.
                        getSiteID(), newUser);

                    // make user part of selected groups.
                    if ((groupList != null) && (groupList.length > 0)) {
                        for (int i = 0; i < groupList.length; i++) {
                            JahiaGroup curGroup = 
ServicesRegistry.getInstance().
                                                  
getJahiaGroupManagerService().
                                                  lookupGroup(
                                jParams.getSiteID(), groupList[i]);
                            if (curGroup != null) {
                                curGroup.addMember(newUser);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Note the adding of the user to the SiteUserManagerService which handles 
user sharing between sites.

Also, if something is failing silently, you might want to increase the 
logging level of your Jahia installation to see if it tells you why the 
new user isn't getting created (maybe the user already exists ?)
