How to Create a DCE Userid in the Patent Server Domain
To create a new DCE userid in the Patent Server domain,
for example, henryfu,
- Login (or dce_login) as cell_admin on ar0073e0, our Security Master machine.
- cd /dceconfig/ugmgt/dce_users, which has one file in it for each DCE userid.
- cp victorh henryfu, to create a new, skeleton user file, which we'll
now modify to suit this new userid.
- vi henryfu. Change
- uuid field to null
- uid field to null
- gecos information to user's name (e.g. Henry Fu)
- homedir (e.g. /:/users/henryfu)
- state=NEW
- cd ..
- export PATH=$PATH::
- add_users all. Provide cell_admin's password when prompted.
This step will change the "state" field in the user file
(e.g. /dceconfig/ugmgt/dce_users/henryfu) to "SUSPENDED".
- cd dce_users
- vi henryfu again so we can change the primary group.
- "G" to go to the bottom of the file,
- ":r a" to get the contents of the file named "a" in this directory,
which contains 2 lines, "ADD_newgrp=patent" and "DEL_groups=none".
- ":wq"
- cd ..
- chguser henryfu. This step will change the "state" field in the
user file (e.g. /dceconfig/ugmgt/dce_users/henryfu) to "RGY_ENABLED".
- To confirm everything's cool up to this point, type "id henryfu"
("id" is an AIX command). You should see a line like
uid=1595(henryfu) gid=1513(patent)
- mkuserdir henryfu, to create the user's fileset for his home directory
on server ar0071e0, aggregate scsi1 (where all user's filesets reside).
- cm checkf in order to see this guy's DFS home directory that you just
created.
- chguser henryfu one last time to change the state to "FULL_ENABLED".
The initial password is located in the file /dceconfig/ugmgt/ENVIRONMENT
and is "ChangeMe!".
