ldapugadd(1M) ldapugadd(1M)
-F Force creation of new user or group entries even if particular error conditions occur. These are:
• The user name or group name already exists in the directory server.
• The user id or group id number already exists in the directory server
• The shell specified with the
-s option does not exist on the local system or is not an executable.
• Adding a member to a group when that member is not defined in the LDAP directory.
Note that some directory servers perform their own attribute uniqueness checks. In this case,
even if the
-F option is specified;
ldapugadd will be unable to add the new entry.
-S Display the DN of the newly created entry.
Arguments
-h hostname Specifies the host name and optional port number (hostname
:port) of the directory server.
This option overrides the server list configured by LDAP-UX. The hostname field also sup-
ports specification of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Note that when a port is specified for an IPv6 address, the IPv6 address must be specified
in square-bracketed form. If the optional port is unspecified, the port number is assumed
to be 389 or 636 for SSL connections (
-Z). Refer to Binding to the Directory Server below
for additional details.
-p port Specifies the port number of the directory server to contact. This option is ignored if the
port number is specified in the hostname as part of the -h option. Refer to Binding to the
Directory Server below for additional details.
-b base This option overrides value of the ${basedn} substitution construct used in the respective
template file. Instead of discovering the ${basedn} value from the LDAP-UX
configuration profile, the value defined in base will be used. Please refer to Template Files
below for additional information. base is expected to be an LDAP distinguished name.
-t type Specifies on which service type ldapugadd will operate. The service type can be either
passwd or group, where
passwd implies posixAccount-type entries, and
group implies posixGroup-type entries.
The command-line arguments that are applicable will depend on the service specified. If
unspecified,
ldapugadd defaults to passwd.
Note: to be consistent with the Name Service Switch (see switch(4)), the term passwd is
used to represent LDAP user entries which contain POSIX account-related information.
Arguments Applicable to -D
-D Used to permanently alter local host defaults which are used by ldapugadd when creat-
ing new user or group entries in the LDAP directory. Configuration changes made using
the
-D options will appear in the /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapug.conf
file. Please refer
to the LDAP-UX Client Services Administrator’s Guide for an example of the
ldapug.conf file.
-d default_home
Specifies the parent directory that will be used when creating new user home directories.
-s default_shell
Specifies the default login shell that will be used when creating user entries.
-g default_gid
Specifies the default group ID number used when creating new user entries. To avoid
warning messages displayed by ldapugadd , this group ID should represent a POSIX-
style group stored in the LDAP directory.
If this group ID is not defined in the LDAP directory, ldapugadd will display a warning
message every time a new user is added using this default group, since ldapugadd will
be unable to add the user as a member of that group.
-g min_gid:max_gid
Sets new default minimum and maximum ranges that ldapugadd will use when provi-
sioning a group ID number for newly created group entries. The gid range is inclusive of
