# hpssuser -add user1 -ftp -nohome
User ID#: 300
Enter password for user1: ******
Re-enter password to verify: ******
Full name: Test User
HPSS/LDAP home directory: /home/user1
Login shell: /bin/ksh
Primary group ID#: 210
[ adding ftp user ]
[ ftp user added ]
If the -nohome option is not specified when adding an FTP user, you must authenticate (using
kinit) as that user before running hpssuser.
Ensure that the Core Server is up and running before adding the FTP User ID. The hpssuser
utility will not be able to create the user’s home directory if the Core Server is not available.
13.1.1.6. Add an SSM User ID
The hpssuser utility creates an SSM ID for a user by adding an entry for him to the AUTHZACL table.
Refer to Section 2.3: SSM User Security on page 26 for more information on SSM user security.
Invoke the hpssuser utility as follows to add an SSM User ID:
hpssuser -add <user> -ssm
The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding an SSM User
ID:
# hpssuser -add user1 -ssm
[ adding ssm user ]
1)admin
2)operator
Choose SSM security level
(type a number or RETURN to cancel):
> 1
[ ssm user added : admin ]
13.1.2. Deleting HPSS Users
The hpssuser utility can be used by the administrator to delete existing User IDs for an HPSS user. The
utility can be invoked to delete all User IDs for the user or to delete an individual ID.
The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of deleting the User IDs
for an HPSS user on a system configured to use Kerberos authentication and LDAP authorization:
# hpssuser -del user1 -all
[ deleting ssm user ]
