To test webservices:

1) Go to Admin -> Extenstions -> Webservices test client and make sure
web services is switched on

2) Go to Institutions and create an institution

3) Edit institution and for the 'Authentication plugin' dropdown pick
'Webservices ...' and click 'Add' button then hit submit at bottom of
form

4) Go to Admin -> Users and click on a username of a user add them to
the new institution (bottom of form)

5) Now change their 'Authentication method' field to the one that is the
institution name + 'webservice' - click the 'save changes' button

6) Go back to Admin -> Extenstions -> Webservices and expand the 'Manage
service access tokens' part and search for the user and click 'Generate
token'

7) On the next form click the 'Back' link at base of form - as we don't
need to change anything thereat the moment

8) You should see the user now listed with a 'Token' set - copy this
token somewhere as you need it

9) Go to the 'Web service test client' page. 
- For protocol choose any of the options
- For Type leave on 'Token'
go 'Next'
- Choose User Provisioning
go 'Next'
- Choose 'mahara_user_create_users'
go 'Next'
Try creating a user by filling in details into the fields
I think the first 5 fields are compulsory - but try finning different combinations of other options

The check that the users were created by logging in as them

Have fun!

Title:
  Webservice create_users() has old social profile fields

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The following fields are still implemented in the Webservice
  create_users:

  - aimscreenname
  - icqnumber
  - msnnumber
  - yahoochat
  - skypusername
  - jabberusername

  
  Which were all replaced by the new blocktype 'social profile' in the internal artefact.

  If someone were to create a user and specify one of these fields, the
  set_profile_field() will raise an error when generating the class name
  (generate_artefact_class_name()) for the field.

  I haven't actually tried to use the webservice but can see that it
  will cause an error.
