Hi, I'm adding users programmatically from a CSV file using the UserController. 

This is all working fine, but the users don't have a password or an email address.  I am giving each user a default password based on their username, and giving them a blank email.  The users get added fine.

However, I now want to force the user to update their password and email address when they first log in to something valid (a bit like the dotnetnuke site does).  Is this possible out of the box?

If not, any hints on developing my own module?  I know how to check the details of the current user, but I would need to direct them to the update profile page or write my own profile page.

Any clues?

TIA

I thought so, I'll give that a go, cheers.

Exellent, I hadn't noticed that option.  All you have to do to foce a password update is set the Membership.UpdatePassword flag to true.  I won't worry about forcing an email update for now.  Hopefully the core team will add an UpdateProfile flag soon.

Here is the code I use to add a user if anyone is interested:

void AddUser(string firstname, string lastname, string username, string password)
{

UserCreateStatus userCreateStatus = UserCreateStatus.AddUser;

UserInfo objNewUser = new UserInfo();
                       
objNewUser.PortalID = PortalId;
objNewUser.Email = "";
objNewUser.IsSuperUser = false;
objNewUser.FirstName = userInfo.FirstName;
objNewUser.LastName = userInfo.LastName;
objNewUser.Username = userInfo.UserName;
userInfo.Password = MyPasswordGeneratingMethod();
objNewUser.Membership.Password = userInfo.Password;
objNewUser.Membership.Approved = true;                

// force the user to change their password on first login
objNewUser.Membership.UpdatePassword = true;       

userCreateStatus = UserController.CreateUser(ref objNewUser);
        
if (userCreateStatus == UserCreateStatus.Success)
{
UserInfo objUserInfo = UserController.GetUserByName(PortalId, userInfo.UserName, false);
objUserInfo.Profile.SetProfileProperty("FirstName", userInfo.FirstName);
objUserInfo.Profile.SetProfileProperty("LastName", userInfo.LastName);
... set other custom profile properties
}
