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 user@openmeetings.apache.org
    <mailto:user@openmeetings.apache.org> 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,

    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
