JHipster Create user without requiring activation

I am usgin JHipster with OAUTH authentication. I would like to create a user without the user activating the account via email. I have modified the code in the UserService thinking that by setting the resetKey and resetDate to NULL, the user can login without the activation step; the activated is also set to true upon creation. Currently, a user created without the activation email gets:

{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Bad credentials"}

The only way the new user can login is via the Activation email and resetting the password.

Is there any way a user can be created without this step? Is there another authentication table to modify?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I found the bug here ``` protected void additionalAuthenticationChecks(UserDetails userDetails, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authentication) throws AuthenticationException { Object salt = null; if(this.saltSource != null) { salt = this.saltSource.getSalt(userDetails); }

if(authentication.getCredentials() == null) {
  this.logger.debug("Authentication failed: no credentials provided");
  throw new BadCredentialsException(this.messages.getMessage("AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider.badCredentials", "Bad credentials"));
} else {
  String presentedPassword = authentication.getCredentials().toString();
  // PROBLEM IS INVALID PASSWORD!!!!
  if(!this.passwordEncoder.isPasswordValid(userDetails.getPassword(), presentedPassword, salt)) {
    this.logger.debug("Authentication failed: password does not match stored value");
    throw new BadCredentialsException(this.messages.getMessage("AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider.badCredentials", "Bad credentials"));
  }
}

} ```

For some reason my password is not valid and salt is NULL! I have no idea why this is the case. The password I see is the one I created the user with!

Thanks.

In UserService.registerUser make:

newUser.setActivated(true);

This will make the user active upon register. skipping the email verification.

Fields should be activated and activationKey. Activated default value is false, see User.java.
