Creating an Access Server user account in non-LDAP mode (UNIX and Linux)

If you have installed Access Server on a UNIX or Linux® platform, then you must use the dmcreateuser command to create a user account before you can log in to Management Console.

About this task

This procedure only applies when LDAP is not enabled.

You can use the same command to add additional users, or you can add additional users in Management Console.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that Access Server has been started.
  2. Navigate to the /bin directory in your Access Server installation directory.
  3. Run the following command at the command line: 
    ./dmcreateuser <user_name> <full_name> <description> <password> <role>
 <manager> <change_password> <password_expiry>

    where:

    • <user_name> is the unique name for the user for which you want to create an account.
    • <full_name> is the full name of the user.
    • <description> is a description about the user.
    • <password> is the password you want the user to supply when logging into Management Console. If you have enabled complex passwords, then you must specify a password that meets the requirements.
    • <role> is the role you want to assign to the user. Enable one of the following values:
      • SYSADMIN—Specifies that a user assigned to this role is a system administrator and can perform all available operations in Management Console. Only users that require full operational access to the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives should be assigned to this role. System administrators can also modify system parameters to calibrate their replication environment
      • ADMIN—Specifies that a user assigned to this role is an Administrator and can perform all available operations in Management Console, but cannot modify system parameters. Users assigned to this role can access both the Monitoring and Configuration perspectives.
      • OPERATOR—Specifies that a user assigned to this role is an Operator and only has access to the Monitoring perspective in Management Console.
      • MONITOR—Specifies that a user assigned to this role is a Monitor and only has access to the Monitoring perspective in Management Console.
    • <manager> indicates that a user assigned the role of SYSADMIN also has privileges to manage datastores and user accounts in the Access Manager perspective of Management Console. If you want to enable this privilege for a system administrator, then specify a value of TRUE. Otherwise, specify a value FALSE. You must enable this privilege with a value of TRUE if you are creating a user account for the UNIX or Linux platforms that will allow you to log in to Management Console for the first time after the installation.
    • <change_password> indicates that you want the user to change their password when logging into Management Console for the first time. If you want the user to change the password, specify a value of TRUE. Otherwise, if you want the user to login using the same password you have assigned to them, then specify a value of FALSE.
    • <password_expiry> indicates that you want to override any existing password expiry policies set in Management Console so that the password never expires. If you want to override an existing password expiry policy, specify a value of TRUE. Otherwise, if you want the password to expire, then specify a value of FALSE.
