Hi all,

I have a question, hopefully a small one :-)

The CloudController.total_users metric
(/CF\.CloudController\.0\..*\.total_users/) differs from number of users
reported by uaac (uaac users command / admin ui). Can someone explain why
this differs or which number is the correct one?

Regards,
Stephan

Hi,

I did look deeper into implementation. Actually there are two databases:
ccdb and uaadb. Each of them has its own users table. The user count value
of the uaadb/users is reported to admin ui and the user count of the
ccdb/users is used for total_user metric. A ccdb/users table entry contains
just a refid and for getting user details from uaa.

So, we have two totals which can be different if users created for uaa
which a not cc users. That's fine and this is what I did get from the first
answer.

But there is a remaining open point. The total of our ccdb/users is bigger
than total of uaa/users. This is an inconsistency in ccdb/users which
contains references to uaa users that do not exist. If this diffs grows
over time then this is maybe a problem.

Regards,
Stephan

The users reported by CloudController.total_users are the users the Cloud
Controller has in its database. This is normally the same set of users that
exist in UAA.

However, there is nothing that prevents you from creating users via the
UAAC cli tool, or creating new UAA clients that can create users themselves.

Hi John,

thanks for your answer, however, I don’t understand that completely. For
the open source version of CF, what does “register in CF console” mean? And
what might be an example of “other applications” you are referring to?

Thanks and warm regards
Marco

Cloud Controller reports the number of users register in CF console. UAAC
reports additional users who may have access to other applications. So
they are both correct, depending on what you need.

For example, if you call the REST API for a UAAC user that isn't in the
CF console, but still call the cloud controller REST API, you will get a
404.
