Hello list, I wanted to share a simple way I use to create users for testing, it is something that I get regularly asked when we do testing so I thought it may turn useful to others.
Assume we have a FreeIPA domain called freeipa.org and we want to create a few test users with a specific password, here is a simple script that does it (requires you kinit as admin first): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # Pass user name as first argument and password as second argument ipa user-add $1 --first Test --last User echo "test" | ipa passwd $1 ldappasswd -D uid=$1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=org -w test -a test -s $2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this example no escaping is performed, so you'll need to add it to user names/password if you want to use characters that may cause shell expansion. Hope this helps.
