Bulk user creation

[richinek]

Hi Testlink fans!

every month I need to create about 10-20 Testlink accounts. I do it manually via UI. Is there any other way how to do it? Script, API...?

Thx

[Titovetch]

does anyone has a solution for this

[fman]

you have to use a simple sql script.
give a look to insert used on the sql script provided for installing testlink, there exists the line to create admin user, you can use it as model/example

Thanks Fman
i have used the below query with the same admin hash password to be "admin" as the default but its gave me this error


Error

Code: Select all

#1305 - FUNCTION testlink.HashBytes does not exist

Query

Code: Select all

 INSERT INTO /*prefix*/users (login,password,role_id,email,first,last,locale,active,cookie_string)
 VALUES ('Username','21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3', 7,'', 'A', 'B','en_GB',1,HashBytes('MD5',CAST(RAND() AS CHAR)) + HashBytes('MD5','Username') )

appreciate your support

Which database are you using?

I believe (but I could be wrong) that the HashBytes is specific to sql server?

[Titovetch]

i'm executing that query through PHPmyadmin on the testlink database so how to crate hashcode into MYSQL

[TurboPT]

Ok, so it does look like that you have used the insert query example (with HashBytes) found in:
\install\sql\mssql\testlink_create_default_data.sql

...but for MySQL, use the insert query example found in:
\install\sql\mysql\testlink_create_default_data.sql

thanks Turbo this what i have used above and the error the same

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO /*prefix*/users (login,password,role_id,email,first,last,locale,active,cookie_string)
 VALUES ('admin','21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3', 8,'', 'Testlink', 'Administrator', 'en_GB',1,HashBytes('MD5',CAST(RAND() AS CHAR)) + HashBytes('MD5','admin') );


error

Code: Select all

#1305 - FUNCTION testlink.HashBytes does not exist

Did you not read my previous post?

The query that you have used will give the same error, because you are using the WRONG insert example for MySQL.

You need the insert user example found in the MySQL path, and NOT the MSSQL path.
See my previous post for the path differences, so that you get the example from the correct file.

[Titovetch]

Thanks Turbo ,i was opened the wrong file but the correct path so that i posted the same query again

[TurboPT]

So is the query good now?

[Titovetch]

yes , it working good
