Daily scripting task for removing inactive users

Post by FTP »

-- Description: Daily scripting task for removing inactive users that have not logged in within 15 days
-- Author: Luke
-- Date: 2009-10-12

Code: Select all

do 
	--Get user list from domain "demo"
	local strUserlist = c_GetUserList("demo") 
	local userlist = Split(strUserlist,"\n") 

	for _,username in pairs(userlist) do 
		local user = c_GetUser("demo",username)
		local logintime = user.last_logintime
		--get last login time, formatted as time_t
		local logintime_t = c_TranslateTime(logintime)
		if (os.time() - logintime_t) >= 3600*24*15 then 
			c_DeleteUser("demo",username)
		end 
	end 
end

You may add a hourly task and input the above lua script.

Hello,

Could you explain how to modify this example so that inactive accounts are disabled not deleted?

Thanks!

You just need to replace the following line:

Code: Select all

c_DeleteUser("demo",username)
into:

Code: Select all

   for k,v in pairs(user) do
      if type(v) == "boolean" then
         if v == true then
            user[k] = 1
         else
            user[k] = 0
         end
      end
   end

   user.enable_account = 0
   user.oldpassword = user.password

   AddUser("demo", user)

Probably I done something wrong with the code but when I try to enter it into the task editor it rejects it saying:

attempt to call local 'type' (a string value)!

Code: Select all

do 
 --Get user list from domain "CBUK"
 local strUserlist = c_GetUserList("CBUK") 
 local userlist = Split(strUserlist,"\n") 

 for _,username in pairs(userlist) do 
  local user = c_GetUser("CBUK",username)
  local logintime = user.last_logintime
  --get last login time, formatted as time_t
  local logintime_t = c_TranslateTime(logintime)
   if (os.time() - logintime_t) >= 3600*24*15 then 
    for k,v in pairs(user) do
	 if type(v) == "boolean" then
	  if v == true then
	   user[k] = 1
	  else
	   user[k] = 0
	  end
	 end
    end

    user.enable_account = 0
    user.oldpassword = user.password
		
    AddUser("CBUK", user)

end

Already told you very clearly, just replace one line. OK, paste the full code here:

Code: Select all

do 
   --Get user list from domain "demo"
   local strUserlist = c_GetUserList("demo") 
   local userlist = Split(strUserlist,"\n") 

   for _,username in pairs(userlist) do 
      local user = c_GetUser("demo",username)
      local logintime = user.last_logintime
      --get last login time, formatted as time_t
      local logintime_t = c_TranslateTime(logintime)
      if (os.time() - logintime_t) >= 3600*24*15 then 
	   for k,v in pairs(user) do
	      if type(v) == "boolean" then
		 if v == true then
		    user[k] = 1
		 else
		    user[k] = 0
		 end
	      end
	   end

	   user.enable_account = 0
	   user.oldpassword = user.password

	   AddUser("demo", user)
      end 
   end 
end
