Preparing the Request Message
 
The deleteUserRequest message is used to delete users in the CA Strong Authentication database. The following table lists the elements of this request message:
 
Element
 
 
Mandatory
 
 
Description
 
userId/orgName
No
The name of the organization to which the user belongs.
 
Note: 
If the organization name is not passed, then the Default Organization is used for the operation.
userID/userName
Yes
The unique identifier with which the user is identified in the system.
userId/userRefId
No
The unique identifier that is assigned to the user when they are created.
clientTxId
No
The unique transaction identifier that the calling application can include. This identifier helps in tracking the related transactions.
 
Invoking the Web Service
 
To delete users:
  1. (Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the deleteUser operation. See the section, "Managing Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
  2. Use the deleteUserRequest elements to provide the user information, as listed in the table shown in the preceding section.
  3. Use the deleteUserRequest message and construct the input message by using the details obtained in preceding step.
  4. Invoke the deleteUser operation of the ArcotUserRegistrySvc service to delete users.
    This operation returns the deleteUserResponse message that includes the transaction identifier and authentication token. See the following section for more information on the response message.
 
Interpreting the Response Message
 
The response message, deleteUserResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. These elements are explained in the following table. The SOAP body returns a success message if the operation was performed successfully. If there are any errors, then the Fault response is returned. See the section, "Error Codes" for more information on the SOAP error messages.
 
Element
 
 
Description
 
udsTransactionID
The unique identifier of the transaction that is performed using UDS.
authToken
The authentication token that is returned if the credential verification to access Web services was successful. This token eliminates the need for you to present the authentication credential for successive access to the Web services.
By default, the authentication token is valid for 
one
 day, after which you need to authenticate again.
