hi jimmy i am not sure it's possible to directly create tokens with jackrabbit upon user creation... the default way is to trigger token creation upon regular login by passing a empty token attribute along with the SimpleCredentials. subsequent logins would then be performed with TokenCredentials (see Jackrabbit API).
as far as user creation is concerned, i would recommend to use the Jackrabbit API. in other words: JackrabbitSession.getUserManager() -> UserManager.createUser. kind regards angela ________________________________________ From: jimy page <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 14, 2019 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Enable token based login / authentication in jackrabbit 2.19/18 Thanks Angela for your reply. I have few questions. 1. While creating users through userManagers this is what I am using: config = RepositoryConfig.install(new File("/Users/xxx/jackrabbit/")); after that we do repository.login(). Now there are 3 variants of repository.login() none of which takes token, it takes New Credentials(username, password). So here is my question: 1. While creating users, how do I create tokens as well ? 2. How do clients call repository.login() methods, passing token. PS. I am unable to login to webdav url: Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:8090/server";); This always gives error. where in through browser I can access repository. What is the best practice to create users, a> RepositoryConfig.install b>or JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:8090/server"; the second one does not seem to be working for me.
