Creating and Deleting Users/Persons

Hi,
I need some help creation and deletion of users. I'd appreciate if
anybody can provide me ways to achieve the following.

I have a test domino server [7] where I need to do the following:


1) Need to create some 5000 users. For this, I have programatically
created an import file which has all the 5000 entries, but how can I
go about having the password. [I use the HTTPPassword: field and i
use
the same password for all the 5k users.] Everything is importing
fine, except for the password, where somebody needs to login and
change the password. Any other better way to create users
automatically? [user names are like STUser1, STUser2......]


2) If I want to delete 5000 users, it is taking hours, any better way
of deleting users in mass? any scripts?


Thanks in advance,
Sathish

Hi,
how you doing the import, via Administration client or you just import
them into view? I'll recommend to use Administration client as if you
just import it into view there could be necessary to do some refresh
of this documents.

Deletion shouldn't take that long, are you just deleting them with
Delete key? If it is just testing environment it should be enough, if
it is still slow try to create local replica and delete them there.

Martin,
Thanks for your response. I create it on the admin client through
import. The problem is that account is not accessible immediately, as
the user has to logon to confirm/save the password [i guess this is
for encryption]. Is there any other way?

Deletion is by selecting and delete [del key]. Thru web interface, i
can select only 30 at a time. but on the client i can select almost
all, but it is very slow and danger of going out of memory.

Local replica and delete, can you brief me how?

Thanks
Sathish

You might be able to write a background agent to set the password on all
documents that fit the criteria:

SELECT ( Form = "Person" ) & ( @Left( Lastname; 6 ) = "STUser" );
FIELD HTTPPassword := @Password( "yourpassword" )

As for deleting, could you write a background agent to select the
documents and then delete them?

SELECT ( Form = "Person" ) & ( @Left( Lastname; 6 ) = "STUser" );
@DeleteDocument

Make them background agents, and they won't tie up your workstation.

Note - the above code has not been tested - use as a starting point.
