Hi,

I found processengine.getIdentityService().checkPassword(login,password)  
which return a boolean (i would like a single User)

I found processengine.getIdentityService().createUserQuery().userId(login).list();  
which returns a list of Users (i would like a single user)

Is there a function(login, password) which returns a single User ?

Regards

Hi,

You can use processengine.getIdentityService().createUserQuery().userId(login).singleResult() to get a single User object.

Best regards,

Ok, but “userId(login).list()” says that several users may have the same login, if it is the case, which user is returned by userId(login).singleResult() ???

No, the list method is always there because it is generic as part of the user query api. With the same login there should always be one user that is found.
