external Invitation to site no username/password

oklein

Hi,

i just installed Community 3.3 and tested invitation for external users. The invited user gets a email with an url, but no username / password. From the used template (invite-email.ftl) I know, the inviteeGenPassword is missing, how do I enable the generation of an inital password?

Bye, Olaf

Hi,

i now turned on debugging and it seems, that createInviteeDisabledAccount is not called for that user. By looking into java/org/alfresco/repo/invitation/InvitationServiceImpl.java I can see that can only happen when the system thinks the User exists already:

if (this.mutableAuthenticationDao.userExists(inviteeUserName) == false) {
                        if (logger.isDebugEnabled())
                                logger
                                                .debug("Invitee user account does not exist, creating disabled account.");
                        inviteePassword = createInviteeDisabledAccount(inviteeUserName);
                }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I wonder if that happens because of our Authentication.chain - passthru, ldap-ad?

Bye, Olaf

PS: Here the debug output from InvitationServiceImpl:

Yes your issue is that when using NTLM the account already exists so there's no need to generate a new account and temporary password.

Possibly the notification email should be changed. What would you like to see in your case?

Hi,

since i want to invite external users to my site in /share/page/site/testsite/invite ("…Add External Users"), the accounts do not exist.
What can I do to create this users in alfresco and get a username / password for them?

Bye, Olaf

Uuuh, my fault, thanks for pointing me in the right direction - I just added an AlfrescoNtlm1 authentication into the auth-chain and it works like expected. Now we only have to decide if we want the user data in 2 different databases…

I think I'm seeing the same this with 3.2r2 - invited users get a link but no username and password. The account is created in alfresco and is enabled. How to turn on debugging here?

I have this same questions for Alfresco Enterprise 3.2
