add new user

[jalamos]

Hello, I tried to add a new user through database or web-console, but when I login I can't.

Error Login failed. Invalid user name or password.



Help. :-)

Same thing happens with me.
Any idea?

Once you configured to the DB, need to create users and related stuff.

For details refer JBPM user guide section 8.1.5

Hi,

I have the same problem. I can not create users through the web console. They do appear in the database, but they can not log in to the system.

I am working with the 3.2.3 release and Java 1.6 (btw, the websale example coming with the 3.2.3 release did not work with Java 1.5 - as already mentioned on this forum.)

Then, I started to follow the instructions in section 8, but when executing the script (from ...\jbpm-jpdl-suite-3.2.3\db\jbpm.jpdl.postgresql.sql) for creating the tables in PostgreSQL, I get the following error message

12:41:42 [CREATE - 0 row(s), 0.000 secs] [Error Code: 0, SQL State: 42601] ERROR: syntax error at or near "create"
... 1 statement(s) executed, 0 row(s) affected, exec/fetch time: 0.000/0.000 sec [0 successful, 0 warnings, 1 errors]

(I erased all alter statements in the beginning of the script, to mimic the description in section 8.1.3.1).

Any advice (on how to define users) is appreciated. I browsed through the forum issues, but I may have missed something.

Kind regards, Petia

Petia,

the SQL 42601 error comes up because the SQL statements are missing the trailing semicolons (;).

$ sed 's/$/;/g' jbpm.jpdl.postgresql.sql > jbpm.jpdl.postgresql.delimiter.sql
$ psql -d <database> -U <dbuser> -W -f jbpm.jpdl.postgresql.delimiter.sql

Also, you'd need not only JBPM_ID_USER entries as outlined in the SQL snippet of Chapter 8.5.1 of the docs, but also entries in the JBPM_ID_GROUP and JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP table:

INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_GROUP VALUES(1,'G','sales','organisation',NULL);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_GROUP VALUES(2,'G','admin','security-role',NULL);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_GROUP VALUES(3,'G','hr','organisation',NULL);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_GROUP VALUES(4,'G','user','security-role',NULL);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_GROUP VALUES(5,'G','manager','security-role',NULL);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_USER VALUES(1,'U','user','[e-mail]','user');
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_USER VALUES(2,'U','manager','[e-mail]','manager');
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_USER VALUES(3,'U','admin','[e-mail]','admin');
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_USER VALUES(4,'U','shipper','[e-mail]','shipper');
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(1,'M',NULL,NULL,2,4);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(2,'M',NULL,NULL,3,4);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(3,'M',NULL,NULL,1,4);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(4,'M',NULL,NULL,4,4);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(5,'M',NULL,NULL,4,3);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(6,'M',NULL,NULL,2,3);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(7,'M',NULL,NULL,3,3);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(8,'M',NULL,NULL,3,2);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(9,'M',NULL,NULL,2,2);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(10,'M',NULL,NULL,2,5);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(11,'M',NULL,'boss',2,1);
INSERT INTO JBPM_ID_MEMBERSHIP VALUES(12,'M',NULL,NULL,1,1);

Finally, if you add a new user using the jbpm-console, you will also need to associate the new user entry with a group, eg. by default at least the 'user' group to be able to login.

Thanks Martin

Your comment was very helpful. In the web-console, I had indeed assigned a group (which I had defined) to my user, but I realise now that I also have to have the group "user" assigned to him as well. (I must have missed this detail in the documentation).

When playing around with the predefined groups I tried to assign the group "admin" (without assigning the group "user") to my user. This causes the following error message

HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

after which I need to restart the system.

If the group "user" is assigned to a user, everything works nicely.

Greetings, Petia
