Issue

  • We are unsure of the following: does Liferay update the createDate column in the user_ table when a user performs their first login to Liferay?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4
  • Liferay DXP 7.3
  • Liferay DXP 7.2
  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • There are no changes done to the createDate attribute of a user after they log in for the first time.
  • There are changes, however, to the modifiedDate upon setting a new password for the user, and also lastLoginDate will be updated with the last login timestamp.
  • Nonetheless, the createDate value remains the same.
