This method is used to validate a user¿s user's userid and password. The method queries the database for the provided information. If the credentials exist in the database, a record is returned containing the user¿s user's account information.

The getUserInfo() takes several arguments:1.      

1. String Userid – i.e

...

1. "amarx"
2. String password – i.e.

...

1. "A_

...

1. marx"

...

1. String schemaVersionNumber --  i.e.

...

1. "2.

...

1. 1"

In the web service client we might auto generate a data structure by providing the web service url. In eLandings we use Java – JAX-WS and generate a structure called ReportManager.

ReportManagement ws;

¿

¿ ...
...

String xml = ws.getUserInfo(UserID, Password, schemaVersionNumber)

...

String xml = ws.getUserInfo(¿amarx¿, ¿A_marx¿, ¿2.1¿"amarx", "A_marx", "2.1");

The following web service call would be made:
String xml = ws.getUserInfo("amarx", "A_marx", "2.1");
If the web service call is successful, you might see a string containing a processor_user_info structure containing one or more authorized operations objects
getUserInfo_result_on_success.txt
If the web service call was unsuccessful, you will recive an error message within the processor_user_info string.
For example, on the eLandings web page login, if you entered userid = amarx and an incorrect password = "A_marx1234".

The following web service call would be made:

<processor_user_info>
    <messages>
        <message severity_desc="ERROR" severity_code="E" msgid="1278">User AMARX could not be authenticated</message>
    </messages>
    <schema_version>2.1</schema_version>
</processor_user_info>
