API to create JBoss Portal user and assign a default role

[kpalania]

Is there an API? I want to create a user and assign a default role on the fly if the user doesn't exist in the Portal database? When I get this far, the user would be automatically authenticated, so no worries there, it is just the authorization part.

Look at the documentation ;)

UserService, RoleService and MembershipService are your friends.

Would you mind pointing me to an example or providing a link to the relevant chapter? Tried to google it, but couldnt find any hits, and I've looked through the Portal docs to get a sense for the login modules, etc, and I almost have all the necessary login modules.

I am doing a direct insert into the jbp_users and jbp_role_membership table for the new user that i am creating, but that doesnt appear to be enough as i get authorization errors as this user. Also, i am using there are no restrictions with user names as my users are in LDAP and have the entire email address as their username. Thanks.
