We have a bunch of users that are only going to be using DOORSnet to view and make small changes to things within our DOORS db.

As such, I've been trying to script the creation of users so that we can batch create the users for DOORSnet.

The problem that I have is that the last set date for the user doesn't seem to be able to be set from DXL. There is a property on the user, "passwordChanged", but I can't set that on a new user from DXL. Even after running saveDirectory(); loadDirectory(), the field still isn't settable.

I've also tried changing the password after storing the user but that doesn't seem to work either.

The implication of this, is that each DOORSnet user must first login through DOORS, change their password, and then DOORSnet will let them login. DOORSnet is lacking the ability to change the password at login.

So, does anyone know of a way to create users, so that they do not have to log in through the DOORS client to change their password?

Thanks,

Geoff

Just out of curiosity, are others using DOORSnet to provide access for users not using the DOORS client?

I wouldn't have thought that our workflow was that strange, and thus assumed that others would have solved the problem of needing to log into DOORS before using DOORSnet.

Use a DXL script to create your DOORSNet accounts. Have the program read a text file of username and password, then reset the password again.

Attached is the script that I've been trying to get working. There isn't a problem creating a user.

The problem is that DOORS requires that the user enter a new password the first time that they log in (regardless of what I do with the script). DOORSnet does not allow the user to enter a new password, so the user cannot log into DOORSnet.

Thanks.

It turns out that using 'user.password = "secret"' to change the password doesn't reset it. However, using 'setuser(user, password, "secret")' seems to work. Go figure, as my understanding was that they were equivalent.
