Storing Custom User variables and Unique Email constraint

[Ravindra Singareddy <si...@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,

I need to store User Custom variables like firstName, MiddleName, and Last Name and using following code:


SyncopeClientFactoryBean clientFactory = new SyncopeClientFactoryBean().
             setAddress("http://localhost:8080/syncope/rest").
             setDomain("Master").
             setContentType(SyncopeClientFactoryBean.ContentType.XML).
             setUseCompression(true);
SyncopeClient client = clientFactory.create("admin", "password");
UserService userService = client.getService(UserService.class);

UserTO userTo = new UserTO();
                  userTo.setUsername(username);
userTo.setPassword(password);
userTo.setCreationDate(new Date());
userTo.setCreator("admin");
userTo.setRealm("/");

userTo.getPlainAttrs().add(new AttrTO.Builder().schema("email").value(email).build());
userTo.getPlainAttrs().add(new AttrTO.Builder().schema("firstName").value(firstName).build());
userTo.getPlainAttrs().add(new AttrTO.Builder().schema("middleName").value(middleName).build());
userTo.getPlainAttrs().add(new AttrTO.Builder().schema("lastName").value(lastName).build());
Response userResponse = userService.create(userTo,true);
System.out.println(userResponse.getStatus());

After Successful creation of user,  authenticated using email, with following code:

 client = clientFactory.
               setDomain("Master").create(email, password);


Pair<Map<String, Set<String>>, UserTO> self = client.self();

       Object auth = self.getKey();
       UserTO selfUserTO = (UserTO)self.getValue();

System.out.println(selfUserTO);

First Question: selfUserTO is not retrieving firstName, middleName, and LastName from Plain Attributes.  What are changes needed to be done for storing these plain attributes values?
Second Question: I am able to save email address and also able to retrieve (authenticate) using the email address. If I have created two users with the same email address, the system is not able to log in using this email address. Because the email address is not unique across all users.  How to make email address unique across all users.

 plainAttrs=[org.apache.syncope.common.lib.to.AttrTO@6f8f9349[
  schemaInfo=org.apache.syncope.common.lib.to.PlainSchemaTO@75c9e76b[
  type=String
  mandatoryCondition=false
  multivalue=false
  uniqueConstraint=false
  readonly=false
  conversionPattern=<null>
  validatorClass=org.apache.syncope.core.persistence.jpa.attrvalue.validation.EmailAddressValidator
  enumerationValues=<null>
  enumerationKeys=<null>
  secretKey=<null>
  cipherAlgorithm=<null>
  mimeType=<null>
  key=email
  anyTypeClass=BaseUser
]
  schema=email
  values=[abcdef@hotmail.com]
]]

Your help in this regard greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ravi

You need to create the related schemas (if you haven't done that yet) 
and then to assign such schemas to the AnyTypeClass for users.

You need to change the email schema definition and flag uniqueConstraint 
to true; you can do that either via Admin Console or REST.

Please be aware that, if there are users with the 'email' attribute set, 
such update is not possible: you'll need either to create another schema 
or to remove all the existing email values.
