(Solved) userid = email address

michaelc

I expect someone has done this, just not me.
I want to change the invite external users to create the user id as there email vs. creating the user id as firstname_lastname.

I followed the code and found in alfresco\web-inf\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\respository\site\invation\invation.post.json.js the following code
         var inviteeFirstName = json.get("inviteeFirstName") ;
         var inviteeLastName = json.get("inviteeLastName") ;
         var inviteeEmail = json.get("inviteeEmail") ;
         invitation = site.inviteNominated(inviteeFirstName, inviteeLastName, inviteeEmail, inviteeRoleName, acceptUrl, rejectUrl);

but I don't know where this code is.

I tried to set it in the frontend javascript module invationlist.js, it created the user but the email didn't happen.

anyone have a pointer for me ?

Hello,

what you are looking for is a custom UserNameGenerator.

You can create your own generator implementation in Java by implementing the interface UserNameGenerator, and create your specific user name format when inviting external users. The generator in use is configured in authentication-services-context.xml - simply override the userNameGenerator bean in your custom Spring configuration file.

Alternatively, you can adapt the name pattern of the nameBasedUserNameGenerator bean - that way you don't need to implement a Java class.

Thanks you gave me the info I needed.
it was even simpler when I looked into the code ( just need to know where to look ) as it was all ready an option.

name generator is org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.NameBasedUserNameGenerator
it has two properties namePattern and userNameLength
change namePattern to %emailAddress%
change userNameLength to 30

Done.

Hi Axel,
we've migrated from 4.2.f to 5.0.c.
In 4.2.f we implemented this solution. Is this solution in 5.0.c also working? They changed the configration to *.jar during maven.

Best regards
Philipp

Hallo Axel,
wir haben kürzlich von 4.2.f auf 5.0.c migriert. In 4.2.f habe ich username=email genau mit dieser Lösung hier eforlgreich einrichten können.
Nach der Migration zu 5.0.c geht dies nun nicht mehr, ich denke das liegt an der Änderung mit den Konfigrationen richtung jar dateien wegen maven.

Kann ich das einfach so in der 5.0.c so nachbauen, oder sollte man diese Anforderung in 5.0.c anders lösen?

Schöne Grüße

Hello,

moving configuration into the *.jar for Alfresco 5 is just a packaging change. The approach for providing a custom user name generator via a custom Spring file / override in /shared/classes/extension/ should be unaffected by this. There may have been some semantic changes in the configuration other than its packaging that are at fault here - but at the moment I can't see anything that should interfere (looking at my local source clone of Enterprise Edition 5.0 and Community 5.0.c).
What is the behaviour you experience? Are there any log Messages in alfresco.log? Or is it just silently failing?

Hello,

After copy my old (4.2.f) /WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/authentication-services-context.xml to 5.0.c in the same path, i get a lot of exceptions in catalina.out:

I'll post them to paste.bin

http://pastebin.com/Ktk7Kwyu

The "nameBasedUserNameGenerator" Bean can be found here:

Thanks you

Hello,

You should not modify *-context.xml within WEB-INF Folder - all customizations should only be made in *-context.xml in /shared/classes/alfresco/extension and those files should only contain the changed bean, e.g. should not be a full copy of the authentication-services-context.xml.
The errors you are encountering are because Alfresco has introduced changes in the authentication-services-context.xml which you are overriding fully with config that may no longer be supported in its entirety (classes may have moved / been renamed).
It also appears you have other modified *-context.xml in the WEB-INF directory, e.g. the web-client-application-context.xml which is actually causing the error.

Eliminate everything but the userNameGenerator from your file and move it into extension directory. Also eliminate / move any other configuration files into extension and remove everything except your actual changes from their Contents.

Regards
Axel

thank you for your answer. Now I understand many of my problems 😉

I've deleted the file in the WEB-INF folder and created a new authentication-services-context.xml in /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

It contains only the "nameBasedUserNameGenerator" and "passwordGenerator" Bean:


       <bean id="nameBasedUserNameGenerator"
                class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.NameBasedUserNameGenerator">
                <!– name patterns available: %lastName%, lower case last name %firstName%,
                        lower case first name %emailAddress% email address %i% lower case first name
                        inital –>
                <property name="namePattern">
                        <value>%emailAddress%</value>
                </property>

                <property name="userNameLength">
                        <value>30</value>
                </property>
        </bean>

        <!– Used for generating passwords –>
        <bean id="passwordGenerator"
                class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.BasicPasswordGenerator">
                <property name="passwordLength">
                         <value>12</value>
                </property>
        </bean>

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But now I get these Exceptions in catalina.out:

http://pastebin.com/LLZPTR7W

The web-client-application-context.xml in /opt/alfresco-5.0.c/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/ cames with the installerscript and I've done no changes in this file.

Do you know why the exceptions (pastbin link) occour?

Thanks for your help
