Fetching All Accounts of a User

To fetch the details of all accounts that are created for a user, you must use the listUserAccounts operation. This section walks you through the following topics for fetching the details of the user accounts.

Preparing the Request Message
Invoking the Web Service
Interpreting the Response Message

Note: If you want to fetch details of a particular account, then use the retrieveUserAccount operation. See "Fetch a User Account Details" for more information.

Preparing the Request Message

The listUserAccountRequest message elements are same as those for addUserAccountRequest. See Adding User Accounts for more information.

Invoking the Web Service

To fetch user accounts:

(Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the listUserAccounts operation. See "Managing Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
Use the listUserAccountRequest elements to collect the user account details, as listed in Adding User Accounts.
Use the listUserAccountRequest message and construct the input message by using the details obtained in preceding step.
Invoke the listUserAccounts operation of the ArcotUserRegistrySvc service to fetch the account details of the user.
This operation returns the listUserAccountResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user account details. See the following section for more information on the response message.

Interpreting the Response Message

The response message, listUserAccountResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. The SOAP body includes the user account details for a successful transaction and the Fault response for an error condition.

See the following table for more information on the elements returned for a successful transaction. See "Error Codes" if there are any errors.
