[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-1250) Console Realm Create new user results in error and gives confusing error message.

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1250?page=all ]

Vamsavardhana Reddy updated GERONIMO-1250:
------------------------------------------

        Summary: Console Realm Create new user results in error and gives confusing error message.  (was: Console Realm Create new user gives confusing error message.)
           type: Bug  (was: Improvement)
    Fix Version: 1.0

Even though the JIRA issue is created pointing to the inconsistent error message, the problem actually is a side effect of "unable to add new user".  I think this issue should be fixed in 1.0 since it affects the very basic functionality of adding users to the console realm.

> 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.
