Set user field fails in plugin

whitts

Hello,

I created a plugin from a template that authenticates against an LDAP server, the code works fine but i also wanted to set some user fields if the user needs to be created. I looked up the code and it seems that i should be using : user.setUserField(uid, 'fullname', user.givenName + " " + user.sn); but this causes the whole plugin to error. User is declared earlier in my code and works fine since the user is created if i remove the user.setUserField.

My code is below:

ldap.authenticate(username, password, function (err, user) {
  if (err) {
    next(new Error('[[error:invalid-username-or-password]]'));
  }
  else {

    User.getUidByEmail(user.mail, function (err, uid) {
      if (err) {
        return callback(err);
      }

      if (!uid) {

        User.create({
          username: user.sAMAccountName.toLowerCase(),
          email: user.mail

        }, function (err, uid) {
          if (err) {
            return callback(err);
          }
          
          user.setUserField(uid, 'fullname', user.givenName + " " + user.sn);
                   
          next(null, {
            uid: uid
          }, '[[success:authentication-successful]]');
        });
      } else {
        next(null, {
          uid: uid
        }, '[[success:authentication-successful]]');
      }
    });

  }
  ldap.close(function (err) {
    if (err) {
      console.log("LDAP closing error: %s", err);
    }
    else {
      console.log("Success in closing");
    }
  });
});

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

@whitts said:

user.setUserField(uid, 'fullname', user.givenName + " " + user.sn);

Should be User.setUserField(uid, 'fullname', user.givenName + " " + user.sn);
