> The default "out-of-the-box" configuration uses the PropertiesLoginModule, which doesn't support adding additional userids and groups.  However, the Console Realm portlet supports Create New User and Create New Group as options.  If you try to create either a new group or user, you get an error that the "ERROR:  User already exists".  The user does not already exist, so the error doesn't really make sense.  This operation is failing because the PropertiesLoginModuleManager is throwing an exception because it doesn't support updates, not because this is a duplicate name.  The portlet is just catching all exceptions and reporting this as a duplicate name error.  It would be nice to make this a little more granular.
