Hi,I'm using Liferay 7.2 CE GA1 version. I already configured an OpenId provider, which is working fine to login users, but one of the requirements is to be able to login by OpenId without creating a new user on Liferay side. Is this possible ? Thanks

No, all users must be users in Liferay in order to have a properly assigned User ID, a foreign key on most Liferay tables.

No user, no FKey value, not going to work.

Hi Rui,
As David stated, Liferay must have a user on record to properly function. Maybe your requirement can be met by silently registering the user and maybe deleting the register afterwards?
