Get users list #109

Closed gpzope closed 2 years ago

gpzope commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm new to PAS and I was just wondering if there is in PAS an equivalent to context.acl_users.getUserNames(). I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this type of questions.

Thank You

The API documentation at https://productspluggableauthservice.readthedocs.io shows the available methods. Specifically, the user folder has a searchUsers method that you can use, see https://productspluggableauthservice.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/userfolder.html#Products.PluggableAuthService.interfaces.authservice.IPluggableAuthService.searchUsers. If you call searchUsers with no input you will get a sequence of dictionaries where each dictionary contains information about a user. To emulate what getUserNames does you can pull the value for the key login from each of these dictionaries, like so:

logins = [x['login'] for x in self.acl_users.searchUsers()]

Jens, thanks for your help on PAS. I do have one more question. I'm trying to write a python script to change a user password. I'm using this method, but so far I don't have any success. It doesn't return any error and it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

request = context.REQUEST response = request.response login = 'Myuserlogin' new_password = 'mynewpassword' context.acl_users.updateCredentials(request, response, login, new_password)

Thanks again, Giampiero

Please read the PAS interfaces carefully: updateCredentials belongs to the interface ICredentialsUpdatePlugin. Its docstring says: Callback: user has changed her password.

This interface is not responsible for the actual password change,
it is used after a successful password change event.

This means that updateCredentials is not designed to change the password but to give other components the chance to adapt to a password change.

To change the password of a user, use a method of its user source. For the standard ZODBUserManager this would be updateUserPassword. Other user sources may use a different method.

Thanks Dieter,

I did: context.acl_users.ZODBUserManager.manage_updateUserPassword(userlogin,new_password,new_password) and it worked as espected.

What is the difference, if any, between 'manage_updateUserPassword' and 'updateUserPassword' as you suggested?

Thanks again.
