Hi List, I'm trying to make a script to add users non interactively with ipa add-user and specify a password of testpw I tried: ipa user-add username --first=firstname --last=lastname --homedir=/home/username --password testpw --gidnumber=0000 --noprivate --shell=/bin/bash #ipa: ERROR: command 'user_add' takes at most 1 argument and this: ipa user-add username --first=firstname --last=lastname --homedir=/home/username --password=testpw --gidnumber=0000 --noprivate --shell=/bin/bash #ipa: error: --password option does not take a value No Luck. Any suggestions? ----- I will take it a lot further - salt to taste (and watch the line wraps)... #!/bin/sh # # Script to automate adding users # # Updated 12/16/2014 # Craig White # CMD1='/usr/bin/ipa user-add' CMD2='/usr/bin/ipa group-add-member' TEE='/usr/bin/tee -a' LOG='/tmp/ipa_users_add.txt' MAIL='/bin/mailx' KERB=`klist -s; echo $?` > $LOG [[ -n "$4" ]] || { echo "Usage: ipa_user_add.sh LOGIN FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME EMAIL GROUPS " && echo " REQUIRED ----> ^ ^ ^ ^" && echo "You can have many groups separated with just a space"; exit 0 ; } [[ $KERB == "0" ]] || { echo "Your kerberos ticket has expired - Please create a valid kerberos ticket by typing 'kinit'"; exit 0 ; } if [ -z "$EMAIL" ]; then echo "You need to add EMAIL to your environment variables - type 'export EMAIL=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS' before running this command or better yet, add it to your .bash_profile" exit 0 fi $CMD1 $1 --first=$2 --last=$3 --random --email=$4 | $TEE $LOG echo "---- ----- ----- ----- -----" | $TEE $LOG echo "You must login and change your password" | $TEE $LOG echo "SSH to some server you have access to" | $TEE $LOG echo "or" | $TEE $LOG echo "https://_IPA_SERVER_1_/ipa/ui OR https://_IPA_SERVER_2_/ipa/ui" | $TEE $LOG echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -" | $TEE $LOG $CMD2 ipausers --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG if [ -n "$5" ]; then $CMD2 $5 --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG fi if [ -n "$6" ]; then $CMD2 $6 --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG fi if [ -n "$7" ]; then $CMD2 $7 --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG fi if [ -n "$8" ]; then $CMD2 $8 --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG fi if [ -n "$9" ]; then $CMD2 $9 --users=$1 | $TEE $LOG fi echo "See attachment for login information" | $MAIL -s 'New Account Information' -r $EMAIL -a $LOG $4 /bin/rm -f $LOG -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
