Hi Solomax,

Thanks for the response! This indeed this seems to be the case, as I stumbled across the document you suggested in your reply, earlier today after some google searching. Tried it out and it works great.

Much obliged,

Sam

Actually you need to change your use case a little
You need to add the link to your site "Enter OM" with the URL http://server:port/openmeetings?secureHash=XXXXXXX where XXXXX generated with this: http://openmeetings.apache.org/UserService.html#setUserObjectMainLandingZone call

This way your users will go directly to the OM dashboard without entering any password

    In my case, I have a set of seperate accounts for users on a
    website.  What I'm trying to do is give each registered person an
    account under openmeetings to hold conferences between the users.
    The aim is to have their openmeetings account seamlessly synced
    with their website accounts so they only need to remember their
    website username and password and can change either one at any
    time if they need to.

    From what I understand about external users, they do something
    similar, however I would want users to be able to use the
    openmeetings interface and not one designed by a third party
    (that's what esternal accounts sound like to me).  Maybe I'm
    misunderstaning the point of external users?

    I'm hoping that I'm overcomplicating this; so feel free to tell me
    that I am.

    Thanks again,

    Sam

    I'm afraid there is no way to change password via SOAP.

    Not sure if such method should be added, what are your use case?
    Why do you need to change the password?

        Sorry for sending the message to the googlegroups address
(I'm afraid that's where I've sent most of my messages). Just to make sure, should I send them to
        [email protected]
        <mailto:[email protected]> instead?

        Regarding matters of SOAP, I don't think "external user" is
        the way I want to go.  Is there a way for me to edit a
        non-external user, namely his/her password, through SOAP or
        some other means?

        Thanks,

        -Sam

        The answers simply means "external users don't need password" :)
        if user is external to OM (created and used via SOAP) it
        doesn't require the password since he/she have no chance to
        enter it :)

        you should generate secureHash and send use directly into
        the room in case it is external user :)

            Question #2 of the day (since solomax made such short
            work of my last one ;-)).

            I've been looking everywhere to figure out how to edit
            user info via SOAP, namely the user password.  I've been
            able to use addNewUser with ease to create a new user;
            but once he/she's in there I have no idea how to update
            them (apart from the GUI of course) In the archives,
            Sebastian gives an answer
            
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-openmeetings-user/201209.mbox/%3CCACeMiA_YdtiWRXRrhF0fEBxwwmn6McKP5KnK0aeDvUvg=jd...@mail.gmail.com%3E>
            to a question that's exactly identical to the one I'm
            asking, the problem is that I don't understand what he's
            telling the person.  He basically says that editing the
            password isn't necessary when using external users, but
            I have no idea how to make use of that advice.

            Regardless of whether I should use external users or
            not, could someone point me in the right direction?

            Much appreciated as always,

            Sam
