Hi, if u find my last posted code sample was vague then (to what i understand from your question) with the below posted code you can easily understand the way to use the Identity modules and use the methods provided by them to get the information needed from LDAP hope this helps UserModule module = (UserModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/portal/UserModule"); RoleModule roleModule =(RoleModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/portal/RoleModule"); UserProfileModule userProfileModule = (UserProfileModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/portal/UserProfileModule"); MembershipModule membershipModule = (MembershipModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/portal/MembershipModule"); org.jboss.portal.identity.User userIdentity; userIdentity = (org.jboss.portal.identity.User) module.findUserByUserName(userName); if org.jboss.portal.identity.User newCreateUser; newCreateUser = (org.jboss.portal.identity.User)module.createUser(userName, password); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4153335#...
