How to Add User Home Page using XML RPC and UWC

[Phillip Ponzer [Cprime]]

As an administrator user, is there a way to create another user's home page from within the UWC?

I imagine this would be done using XML RPC, just don't know what the commands would be.

What I ended up doing was modifying the source code for the UWC to set the page's "isPersonalSpace" property to TRUE. Once this was done, the built-in XML RPC knew what to do to create/update the personal space for each user.

This got me really close to the solution.

I am able to create a personal space for a user, but am not able to upload a page into the new personal space.

Here's the error I receive:

Looks like I may have found my answer here:

http://docs.atlassian.com/com/atlassian/confluence/atlassian-confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/rpc/xmlrpc/ConfluenceXmlRpcHandlerImpl.html

I'm gonna leave this around though in case anyone has anything else to add (code snippets would be awesome!) :)
