Automating User Maintenance (Import/Update)

web-app

Is there a way to automatically import/create/update users in Gemini?

My company has hundreds of users who already have username & password to our main business app (proprietary software written internally).
We don't use Windows authentication.
We don't want IT users knowing users' passwords (no creating the account for them by hand).
We don't want our users creating another username/password just for Gemini.
We can't let anonymous users log in and sign up - we don't want to have to manage the various user levels or worry about unauthorized access/requests.
We add new users and disable old users all the time from our systems and want to automatically update Gemini too.

We'd like a web service we can use to create and update accounts automatically (for instance, when a user logs into our main business app).

For version 2.0.2 of Gemini, Countersoft generously provided us a AddUser.dll & aspx file we added to our Gemini installation to make this possible - but it no longer works.  The web server hosting our Gemini installation was upgraded and that seems to have broken the old method.

We'd like to upgrade to the current version of Gemini anyway, and the old code may also not work anymore given database changes, code changes, etc.

Is there a newer system for automating user maintenance?

Thanks

Yes, you should use Gemini web services. You can download the services DLL which will enable you to communicate with Gemini web services from our site.

My applications are not written in .Net - they're written in PowerBuilder 9 -- or I could write any batch/WSH script necessary... but I can't take the time to install, learn, integrate or support .NET so I can automate my user maintenance in one program out of dozens I manage.

I don't see how the .Net examples/code in the Gemini web services download help me.
Is there any other option?

Thanks very much

Unfortunately, there is no other way of doing this. Have you still got the source for the AddUser?

Sure do.  Where should I send it for an update?
