load-tenant-admin-user-login vs create-admin-user-login

Hi,

Someone knows (without spending time) the reason why we have load-admin-user-login and create-admin-user-login?

It seems its only the prompt for userLoginId. It's a bit confusing, could we not simplify? Maybe simply hide load-admin-user-login
description?

Thanks

Jacques

create-admin-user-login lets you define your own admin and password.
load-admin-user-login is simpler and adds admin with default password
that has to be reset.

Hi BJ, Jacques,

The title of this posting seems te be off someway. Yes, the
'load-tenant-admin-user-login' is in essence the same as
'load-admin-user-login' but is solely intended for a new admin id for a
tenant. As such it isn't related to 'create-admin-user-login'. And
'create-admin-user-login' doesn't work in the tenant environment.

To me 'load-admin-user-login' should suffice. Although there can something
be said about having the ability to create additional super users with their
own id and password, I would not like this in a production environment. The
person who has access to the userid and password of the super user can
easily do this through the security screens of a party.

However, what might be lacking is a function to reset the password of the
user-id generated with 'load-admin-user-login' when this is compromised (I
haven't checked/tested whether 'load-admin-user-login' facilitates this).

Regards,

Pierre

Sorry for the wrong title Pierre,

Yes, I meant load-admin-user-login vs create-admin-user-login (wrong C/P).
It seems BJ already thought about that since he answered to this question and not the wrong object.

I tend to agree with you. To me "ant -p" begins to be a bit cluttered and we should try to not replicate almost identical features.
Though in this case, yes maybe some prefer to create others from terminal than OFBiz UI. Not sure it unserure though.

I did not check either the reset but there are chances it works, since it applies to the UserLogin entity

Thanks

Jacques
