I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to use the ProfileAdminService (com.ibm.sbt.services.client.connections.profiles.ProfileAdminService) to get one user to follow another user.

I can see that you can do it via a put to /profiles/admin/atom/following.do but I was hoping to just use service.

I've investigated the FollowService but this only (at least that i can see) allows the current authenticated user to follow someone, but I want to be able to get any user to follow someone.

Thanks

The feature was not implemented in the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK you can look at the Code for ProfileAdminService and you'll see the methods do not include establishing a following relationship.

You need to use the REST API - http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+5.0+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Following_a_person_using_the_Administration_API_ic50&content=apicontent

with the specified body. You need to craft the URL properly in order to get the feature to work via the REST API
