Console Realm Create new user gives confusing error message.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-1250
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1250
Project: Geronimo
Type: Improvement
Components: console
Environment: All
Reporter: Rick McGuire
Priority: Minor
The default "out-of-the-box" configuration uses the PropertiesLoginModule,
which doesn't support adding additional userids and groups. However, the
Console Realm portlet supports Create New User and Create New Group as options.
If you try to create either a new group or user, you get an error that the
"ERROR: User already exists". The user does not already exist, so the error
doesn't really make sense. This operation is failing because the
PropertiesLoginModuleManager is throwing an exception because it doesn't
support updates, not because this is a duplicate name. The portlet is just
catching all exceptions and reporting this as a duplicate name error. It would
be nice to make this a little more granular.
