Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] create-file-user [--help]
[--authrealmnameauth_realm_name]
[--target target
[--groups user_groups[:user_groups]*] user_name

Description

The create-file-user subcommand creates an entry in the keyfile with the specified username, password, and groups. Multiple groups can be created by separating them with a colon (:). If auth_realm_name is not specified, an entry is created in the keyfile for the default realm. If auth_realm_name is specified, an entry is created in the keyfile using the auth_realm_name.

You can use the --passwordfile option of the asadmin(1M) command to specify the password for the user. The password file entry must be of the form `AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD=`user-password.

If a password is not provided, this subcommand fails if secure administration is enabled and the user being created is an administrative user.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
