LDAP User List Update

Posted by Community Admin on 20-Mar-2015 00:00

I am trying to update every LDAP user (which are all using the Basic Profile).

I want all "is public profile" to be updated to TRUE.

I cannot seem to find specific documentation to do this...

Basically the script to do this should:

Loop through all users

Change ispublic flag to TRUE

Update profile.

Thanks!!!!

Doc is right here: docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-modify-user-profiles

Obviously you could use usermanager to get all users and loop, or instead on the login event just set it to true for the user that just logged in (so more on demand)

Hi Steve and thanks,

I tried the following - I am starting off by simply updating the About field.

This didn't affect anything.

public static void GetAllProfilesAndUpdate()

var userManager = UserManager.GetManager();
var users = userManager.GetUsers();

foreach (var user in users)

UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();
UserManager ldapUserManager = UserManager.GetManager("LdapUsers");

User account = ldapUserManager.GetUser(user.Id);
if (account != null)

SitefinityProfile profile = profileManager.GetUserProfile<SitefinityProfile>(account);
profile.SetValue("About", "Test From Program");
profileManager.SaveChanges();

FYI for everyone:
LDAP users may show up in the Admin>User list, but unless someone has edited their profile, they do NOT have a Sitefinity profile yet. They must have profiles created for them before they are considered "public" to the system.
The code below should read LDAP users, and create a profile first, summarily setting each profile to Public.

public static void GetAllProfilesAndUpdate()

var userManager = UserManager.GetManager("LdapUsers");

var users = userManager.GetUsers();

foreach (var user in users)

UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

SitefinityProfile profile = null;

profile = profileManager.GetUserProfiles(user.Id).Where(p => p.GetType().FullName == typeof(SitefinityProfile).FullName).SingleOrDefault() as SitefinityProfile;

if (user.LastName != "" && user.Email != null && profile == null)

SitefinityProfile userProfile = null;

userProfile = profileManager.CreateProfile(user, Guid.NewGuid(), typeof(SitefinityProfile)) as SitefinityProfile;

userProfile.SetValue("IsProfilePublic", true);

if (user.LastName != "")

profileManager.SaveChanges();

userManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

userManager.SaveChanges();

userManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = false;

Hi guys,

I've tested the last example of Andy for the same issue with LDAP users in a User list. There's no public profile page. In my code it fires on Session Start in the Global.asax file and is configured for the current user.

The changes are being saved for each user where CreateProfile has been called and the IsProfilePublic is set to true. But still there's no Sitefinity profile page untill someone edits it.

protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

//Check if userprofile exist

var userManager = UserManager.GetManager("LdapUsers");

Guid userid = SecurityManager.GetCurrentUserId();

var user = userManager.GetUser(userid);

if (user != null)

UserProfileManager profileManagerUP = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

SitefinityProfile profileUP = null;

profileUP = profileManagerUP.GetUserProfiles(user.Id).Where(p => p.GetType().FullName == typeof(SitefinityProfile).FullName).SingleOrDefault() as SitefinityProfile;

if (user.LastName != "" && user.Email != null && profileUP == null)

SitefinityProfile userProfile = null;

userProfile = profileManagerUP.CreateProfile(user, Guid.NewGuid(), typeof(SitefinityProfile)) as SitefinityProfile;

userProfile.SetValue("IsProfilePublic", true);

profileManagerUP.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

profileManagerUP.SaveChanges();

userManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

userManager.SaveChanges();

userManager.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = false;

profileManagerUP.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = false;

is there something I miss?

Any help will be appreciated!
