LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.01 Administrator Guide for HP directory servers and Windows ADS

-x <domain> Optional. Specifies the user’s domain name. Use this option to
specify the ${domain} value that can be used in the template
file. If you do not specify this value, the domain name is created
by using the first dc component of the new user’s distinguished
name. If the distinguished name does not contain any dc
components, and the ${domain} variable is specified in the
template file, ldapugadd generates an error.
-m Optional. Creates a new home directory for the defined user. User
and group ownership of the newly created directory is assigned
to the user and his/her primary login group.
If the -k option is specified, the files and sub-directories found in
<skel_dir> are copied to the user’s home directory, and user
and group ownership permissions are altered as specified
previously. If the -k option is not specified, skeleton files are
copied from /etc/skel.
The -m option requires the user has sufficient privilege to create
the new home directory, copy skeleton files and change ownership
of those files and directories. The ldapugadd tool creates a user’s
home directory only after successfully adding the user entry to the
directory server and adding the user to the primary and secondary
groups. If ldapugadd is unable to properly create the user’s home
directory using the previously-described process, the newly created
changes in the directory server are not removed. For more
information, see Section 9.3.5.7 (page 309).
-k <skel_dir> Optional. The ldapugadd tool ignores the -k option unless you
specify the -m option. The <skel_dir> argument specifies a
directory which contains skeleton files and directories that need
to be copied into newly created user home directories. Also see
-m.
<attr>=<value>[...] Optional. Enables specification of arbitrary LDAP attributes and
values. Because of potential object class requirements, you might
need to specify additional information beyond the basic POSIX
account and group data to create new entries in the LDAP directory
server. For example, if the person object class is used as a
structural class for posixAccounts, then the sn (surname)
attribute must be specified to properly create a new entry. This
attribute needs to be defined in the template file, and
attribute/value pair needs to be specified at the end of the
ldapugadd command line.
The<attr>=<value> parameter is used to specify attributes
required by the template file. However, if an attribute is specified
which is not defined in the defined template file, that
attribute/value pair is considered as an optional attribute/value
which will be added to the entry exactly as specified.
<attr>=<value> parameters are optional, but you must specify
them as the last parameters on the command line.

The following is a list of valid arguments for -t group:
<group_name> Required argument. Specifies the POSIX textual style group name for
the new group entry. <group_name> is a required argument. It must
