MASSIVE Upload of users to Jive SBS

Hi,

 

in Production environment we will need to pre-charge in Jive SBS thousands of users, in order for the SSO to work properly. That said, is there a form to do a massive upload without uploading them manually one by one in Admin Panel?


For example, through a CSV file or something like this.

 

Or an Xml. We read something about this point in this thread XML Import - Users but there is no clear information in it.

 

Where to find information about this topic?

Marcello,

 

We do not currently have any built-in facilities for doing a massive upload of contacts, but we do offer a REST/SOAP services layer for programmatically automating this kind of work.  You'll want to take a look at the UserService that I linked to you yesterday.

 

Thanks,

Austen

Re: MASSIVE Upload of users to Jive SBS

Hi Austen,

 

are you refererring to this document? http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/docs/DOC-1200.

 

In this document I can see that multiple queries to JiveUser table can be made, is this the block referrring to user creation?

 

Type Template

<...>
    <creationDate>xs:dateTime</creationDate>
    <email>xs:string</email>
    <emailVisible>xs:boolean</emailVisible>
    <enabled>xs:boolean</enabled>
    <firstName>xs:string</firstName>
    <ID>xs:long</ID>
    <lastName>xs:string</lastName>
    <modificationDate>xs:dateTime</modificationDate>
    <name>xs:string</name>
    <nameVisible>xs:boolean</nameVisible>
    <password>xs:string</password>
    <username>xs:string</username>
<...>

 

Thanks.

 

Marcello

Re: MASSIVE Upload of users to Jive SBS

The two REST methods available for creating users are the createUser and createUserWithUser:

Re: MASSIVE Upload of users to Jive SBS

Another question we have about this point: using the createUser and createUserWithUser services, we can provided not-encrypted password and then Jive will encrypt these password, is that right?

 

So if username is "user01" and password is "userpassword01" through the createUser service we can send these values:

- user01

- userpassword01

Hey Marcello,

 

That is correct, we salt and hash the password before we save it.
