Re: Best way to add user records to EJBUserManager...

2002-01-08 Thread Patrick Lightbody

Instead of coding to EJBUserManager directly, I would highly recommend you
check out OpenSymphony's OSUser module. It is an abstracted user management
layer that works with Orion, Jboss, and Resin, and soon Weblogic, Websphere,
and JRun. Using OSUser will truly make your application work on any J2EE
application.

 I am using EJBUserManager for security in Orion.  What is the best way to
 update users?  Should I directly use EJBUser EJB or use the API's in the
 UserManager.  If UserManager is the answer, then how do I get access to it
 while running in Orion?

The best way to add users in Orion is with Orion's roleManager interface.
This abstracts the usermanager, so that you can define your usermanager api
with xml configuration.


Check-out this trail the docs here:

http://www.orionserver.com/docs/api/com/evermind/security/RoleManager.html

At our site, we use the RoleManager to do all of our user management. If
later we decided to migrate to an LDAP usermanager from EJBUserManager,
aside from moving the database, all we need to do is change the
orion-application.xml user-manager tag...with no changes to our application
code.

Nifty, eh!

Alex,

The Atlassian user admin tool does what you want - no coding required.

Download it here:
http://www.atlassian.com/software/tools/

You can use it to users in XML files, EJB's - anything that implements 
the UserManager interface in Orion.

Cheers,
Scott
