Thanks for the really useful tips.

Try dfcUser.getString(”user_password”); and it should hopefully fail.

I rushed into answering the question without throwing-out the usual caveats. In addition to the owner, you lose a lot of history when you delete an item.

If you absolutely must delete a user, make sure that they don’t own any ACLs or other objects. You can re-assign them as well to other users, or a static “defunct” user that is more of a placeholder. OR you can simply mark them as inactive which is what I tend to do and what I setup my LDAP jobs to do.

For integrity purposes, and especially in a production environment, it’s always better to set the user as inactive rather than deleting the user. Don’t forget that just about every object in the repository has an owner, and the system tends to pitch a fit if it can’t find the owner listed.
