create (User Management)--Add a New User

Add a user to the grid controller's local directory service database. The new username/password can be used to log in to the grid controller through the AppLogic visual interface. The following profile properties may be set: 'pwd', 'realname', 'comment', 'sshkey', and 'email'.

Syntax

user create <name> pwd=- [ group=<group>[,<group>]* ] [ <key1>=<value1> ... ]

Options

<name>: Login name of the local user to add. If the user name begins with '-' (e.g., '--myname'), the <name> argument must be preceded with '--' (e.g., '-- --myname').
pwd=-: Prompt for user's password. If the standard input is not a terminal device, it will not print a prompt and expect only one copy of the password on 'stdin' (this can be used for batch operations, to set the password from a file).
group=<group>[,<group>*]: A list of groups. The first group in the list becomes the user's primary group. The user is added as a member to all local groups in the list.
<keyN>=<valueN>: One or more profile property settings

Example

user create user1 pwd=-

Add local user 'user1' and prompt for password.

Notes:

The user password is case-sensitive, may consist of any standard keyboard characters [a-z,A-Z,0-9,and special characters] with the exception of ' ' and must have a length between 6 and 64 characters inclusive.
