Editing user information VIA SOAP
Question #2 of the day (since solomax made such short work of my last one
;-)).
I've been looking everywhere to figure out how to edit user info via SOAP,
namely the user password. I've been able to use addNewUser with ease to
create a new user; but once he/she's in there I have no idea how to update
them (apart from the GUI of course) In the archives, Sebastian gives an
answer<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-openmeetings-user/201209.mbox/%3CCACeMiA_YdtiWRXRrhF0fEBxwwmn6McKP5KnK0aeDvUvg=jDynQ@mail.gmail.com%3E>to a question that's exactly identical to the one I'm asking, the problem
is that I don't understand what he's telling the person. He basically says
that editing the password isn't necessary when using external users, but I
have no idea how to make use of that advice.
Regardless of whether I should use external users or not, could someone
point me in the right direction?
Much appreciated as always,
Sam

Hi Solomax,
Thanks for the response! This indeed this seems to be the case, as I
stumbled across the document you suggested in your reply, earlier today
after some google searching. Tried it out and it works great.
Much obliged,
Sam

Actually you need to change your use case a little
You need to add the link to your site "Enter OM" with the URL
http://server:port/openmeetings?secureHash=XXXXXXX
where XXXXX generated with this:
http://openmeetings.apache.org/UserService.html#setUserObjectMainLandingZone
call
This way your users will go directly to the OM dashboard without entering
any password

Re: Editing user information VIA SOAP

In my case, I have a set of seperate accounts for users on a website.
What I'm trying to do is give each registered person an account under
openmeetings to hold conferences between the users. The aim is to have
their openmeetings account seamlessly synced with their website accounts
so they only need to remember their website username and password and
can change either one at any time if they need to.
From what I understand about external users, they do something similar,
however I would want users to be able to use the openmeetings interface
and not one designed by a third party (that's what esternal accounts
sound like to me). Maybe I'm misunderstaning the point of external users?
I'm hoping that I'm overcomplicating this; so feel free to tell me that
I am.
Thanks again,
Sam

Yes please send to user@openmeetings.apache.org only.
I'm afraid there is no way to change password via SOAP.
Not sure if such method should be added, what are your use case?
Why do you need to change the password?

Sorry for sending the message to the googlegroups address (I'm afraid
that's where I've sent most of my messages). Just to make sure, should
I send them to user@openmeetings.apache.org instead?
Regarding matters of SOAP, I don't think "external user" is the way I
want to go. Is there a way for me to edit a non-external user, namely
his/her password, through SOAP or some other means?
Thanks,
-Sam

please don't send questions to openmeetings-user@googlegroups.com :))
The answers simply means "external users don't need password" :)
if user is external to OM (created and used via SOAP) it doesn't require
the password since he/she have no chance to enter it :)
you should generate secureHash and send use directly into the room in case
it is external user :)
