Answer 1

// create the user profile, get the handle back,
// and set the membership profile attributes.
ProfileAdmin newProfile = null;
try {
// the users profile name is the domain      
// he belongs to plus their userName
// you will request.domain if your doing this from a servlet, domain_name is the domain_name the user belongs too
String profileName = domain_name + "/" + user;
     if (debug.messageEnabled()) {
debug.message("creating profile for " + profileName);
// create the user profile object
newProfile = ProfileManager.createProfile(
getSession(), profileName ,Profile.USER);
UserProfile userProfile = (UserProfile)newProfile;
     // set the role the user is a member of. Default is to set
     // the users to the default role of the domain they surfed to
     StringBuffer roleName = new StringBuffer(64);
// request.domain instead of domain_name if your doing this from a servlet ..
Profile dp = getDomainProfile(domain_name);
roleName.append(dp.getAttributeString("iwtAuth-defaultRole"));
     if (debug.messageEnabled()) {
debug.message("setting role for " + user + " = " + roleName);
userProfile.setRole(roleName.toString());
newProfile.store(false);
} catch (ProfileException pe) {
     debug.error("profile exception occured: ",pe);
return;
} catch (ProfileException pe) {
     debug.error("login exception occured: ",le);
return;
HTH ..
