php code to create a user

[telecastg]

The posting with the authentication method that I described above is over two years old.

To see how passwords are encrypted in Espo 7+, you can check this script https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...n/Espo.php#L62

Yes, but what about password hash. I tried this:

$password = "123456789";
$fileM = new \Espo\Core\Utils\File\Manager();
$config = new \Espo\Core\Utils\Config($fileM);
$passwordHash = new \Espo\Core\Utils\PasswordHash($config);
$encodedPassword = $passwordHash->hash($password,true);

but I got error message:

Hi, try initializing the entity manager class as explained here: https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/deve...8705#post78705 and substitute "$entityManager" for "$this->entityManager"

Invoking the entity manager as "$this->getEntityManager()" became obsolete in Espo 7+

Hi, how to properly hash a password on version 7.0.9, because for me your method doesnt work?

[telecastg]

I don't create Users via api in my application but here's the PHP code that I use to create Portal Users via a hook, but hopefully it will help.

Create and load a new user entity instance from an existing contact - $contatcObject

    
    // initialize an Entity Manager instance
    $entityManager = $this->getEntityManager();    
    // get the contact information
    $contactId = $contactObject->get("id");
    $firstName = $contactObject->get("firstName");
    $lastName = $contactObject->get("lastName");
    // combine the contact's first name and last name to create a new user name - or use any other string
    $usename = strtolower($firstName).".".strtolower($lastName);
    // define a password - use any value
    $password = "my-password";
    // encrypt the password
    $fileM = new \Espo\Core\Utils\File\Manager();
    $config = new \Espo\Core\Utils\Config($fileM);
    $passwordHash = new \Espo\Core\Utils\PasswordHash($config);
    $encodedPassword = $passwordHash->hash($password,true);
    // create a new User instance
    $userObject = $entityManager->getEntity('User');   // create a new user instance
    // load the new user entity instance
    $userObject->set("firstName",$firstName);
    $userObject->set("lastName",$lastName);
    $userObject->set("userName",$usename);            
    $userObject->set("password",$encodedPassword);    
    $userObject->set("confirmPasword",$encodedPassword);
    $userObject->set("contactId",$contactId);            
    $userObject->set("isActive",true);
    $userObject->set("isPortalUser",1);
    $userObject->set("type","portal");
    // persist the new user instance
    $entityManager->saveEntity($userObject);
    // get the new user id
    $newUserObject = $entityManager->getRepository('User')->where(['contactId'=>$contactId])->findOne();
    $userId = $newUserObject->get('id');

Here's also a link to a VERY HELPFUL posting by dabasystem from which I borrowed the encryption code.

Hi, please, do you not have a php code to create a user via api?
