Modifying user via Services API without modifying a password

[upscene]

Hi,

Is it possible to modify the properties of a user WITHOUT modifying its password?

In IBX, I simply did not set the password to anything and it would stay unmodified, how can I do this with IBDAC?

With regards,

The same way can be used with IBDAC.

If you does not assign a value to a property, it stays unmodified.

Well, it gets modified

But I'm explicitly setting it to '' first, I guess I shouldn't do that then?

That being said, is the "change" checked after each call to .ModifyUser ot so?

We have tested TIBCSecurityService on Firebird with the following sample:

Code: Select all

  IBCSecurityService1.Username := 'SYSDBA';
  IBCSecurityService1.Password := 'masterkey';
  IBCSecurityService1.Active := True;

  IBCSecurityService1.UserInfo.UserName := 'SYSDBA';
  IBCSecurityService1.UserInfo.FirstName := 'Test';
  IBCSecurityService1.ModifyUser;

In this case the password stays unmodified. Please check that you did not modify the user property.

As I said, I was setting it to '' (empty string), this seems to trigger the change.

Is the "property changed" flag reset after calling .ModifyUser?

Yes
