User registration portlet

Question

Hi
I want to develop a custom User registration portlet in JSP. I'm using iAS 902.
Everybody can give me a starting point, or a sample.
I developed Java API-s, which receives user information from LDAP, but I think my portlet must invoke Portal API-s, which registers the user to the Portal to.
Any idee?
Thanks.

I had the same problem and wrote my own method to add users. I'm using the oracle.ldap.util.jndi.ConnectionUtil that is provided by Oracle. Everything seems to work pretty good. I'm winging it here so I'm always open to suggestions:
import oracle.ldap.util.jndi.ConnectionUtil;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import javax.naming.*;
public class LdapUser
public LdapUser(){}
public void addUser()
try
InitialDirContext ctx = ConnectionUtil.getDefaultDirCtx("host", "port", "orcladmin", "pwd");
BasicAttributes attrs = new BasicAttributes();
BasicAttribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
oc.add("top");
oc.add("person");
oc.add("inetOrgPerson");
oc.add("organizationalPerson");
oc.add("orclUser");
oc.add("orclUserV2");
attrs.put(oc);
BasicAttribute gn = new BasicAttribute("givenName", "TestX");
attrs.put(gn);
BasicAttribute sn = new BasicAttribute("sn", "Account");
attrs.put(sn);
BasicAttribute cn = new BasicAttribute("mail", "[email protected]");
attrs.put(cn);
// Etcetera, etcetera...
ctx.createSubcontext("cn=testx,cn=users,dc=whatever,dc=com", attrs);
ctx.close();
System.out.println("Success!!");
catch (NameAlreadyBoundException nabe)
System.out.println("Username is already in use. Please choose another.");
catch (NamingException ne)
System.out.println("NamingException: " + ne);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("User account was not created.");
}
