Is it possible to have Workflow auto create a new Laserfiche/Forms user and assign it to security groups?
I'd be interested to know this as well. I know, out of the box, you can assign rights but it does not give the option to add a user to a group. Maybe through the SDK you can. When you say create a user though do you mean retrieve a user from the active directory and add them to the users>windows accounts or just simply a Laserfiche user account?
Blake,
Not sure if this answers your question but a scan of the SDK documentation discusses creating LF Users and assigning them to LF Groups via the UserInfo and GroupInfo classes (RA). There is also reference to using the static Account class to add existing LF users to an LF group. The SDK documentation also briefly discusses how to retrieve a reference to AD groups and add them as trusted LF groups.
I have not worked with Users, Groups, or AD integration but my experience is that if you can code it using the SDK then you can also make it work in workflow using the workflow script activities or creating your own custom workflow activity.
Great information, thank you. Any idea if it is possible to create a Forms user? That's the one we're really after right now. It would be a Forms participant user using LDAP.
No, the LF SDK only covers interacting with the Laserfiche Server at this time.
Are there any proposed SDK functionality additions for Laserfiche Directory Server, Distributed Computing, Forms, Social BPM, or any others not currently included in the SDK?
The Directory Server, like its predecessor the License Manager, is accessible through LicenseManagerObjects.dll. We haven't released the documentation for it yet.
The Forms Web API is still changing, so it's not quite ready for release.
Social BPM's authentication is going through the Laserfiche Directory Service.
Is there anything in particular you're looking for in Distributed Computing?
Workflow has its own SDK and the API is commented, but maybe it is time we think about packaging all these pieces together as one SDK.
Miruna, am I understanding this correctly? Too many SDKs! :)
Workflow SDK cannot create users in LFDS/LFS
Laserfiche SDK (seperate product) can add Users to the LFS/LFDS?
