public class UpdateUser
extends RepositoryServlet

User Account creation and update. This servlet exists primarily to serve the user list and edit pages in the admin JSP UI. Of course it can be used by itself, but beware of weird behavior when its referrer is a .JSP URL - it will indicate success by redirecting back to the JSP. Upon fatal errors it does NOT return to the JSP, it just sends an error status response. This isn't very user friendly, but neither is the rest of the admin UI. Method: POST only. Invocation Modes: - create a new user - disable a current user - disable login credentials - reinstate - create new login credentials - update - just change user metadata REQUIRED ARGS: username - principal name of user to change, defaults to authenticated OPTIONAL only_password - if specified, do not change other user metadata password - new password password_confirm - must match new password old_password - current (old) password, required for non-admin user first - first name, can be "" last - last name, can be "" mailbox - mailbox, can be "" role - multiple values, URI of roles to apply to user
