User Management

The OAuth2 services can be integrated with an existing Active Directory, LDAP or customer database for authentication. If there is no existing authentication service, you can register users into database as default implementation. For the light-portal we are using our own database for all users.

In this tutorial, we are using curl commmand to access the API and endpoints. In reality these endpoints will only be consumed by light-portal UI.

To add a new user.

curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"userId":"stevehu","userType":"employee","firstName":"Steve","lastName":"Hu","email":"stevehu@gmail.com","password":"123456","passwordConfirm":"123456"}' https://localhost:6885/oauth2/user

To query a user.

curl -k https://localhost:6885/oauth2/user/stevehu

And here is the result.

{"firstName":"Steve","lastName":"Hu","userType":"employee","userId":"stevehu","email":"stevehu@gmail.com"}

To update the user type to partner.

curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"firstName":"Steve","lastName":"Hu","userType":"partner","userId":"stevehu","email":"stevehu@gmail.com"}' https://localhost:6885/oauth2/user

To reset the password.

curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"password":"123456","newPassword":"stevehu","newPasswordConfirm":"stevehu"}' https://localhost:6885/oauth2/password/stevehu

To remove a user.

curl -k -X DELETE https://localhost:6885/oauth2/user/stevehu
