[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1250?page=all ]

Vamsavardhana Reddy updated GERONIMO-1250:
------------------------------------------

        Summary: Console Realm Create new user results in error and gives 
confusing error message.  (was: Console Realm Create new user gives confusing 
error message.)
           type: Bug  (was: Improvement)
    Fix Version: 1.0

Even though the JIRA issue is created pointing to the inconsistent error 
message, the problem actually is a side effect of "unable to add new user".  I 
think this issue should be fixed in 1.0 since it affects the very basic 
functionality of adding users to the console realm.

> 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.
