Subject: [Freeipa-users] Ipa add-user non interactively specifying a password.
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= --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= --noprivate
--shell=/bin/bash
#ipa: error: --password option does not take a value
No Luck.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Craig!
That's quite a handy reply. It's actually a lot nicer than what I was
planning to do. I appreciate this a lot.

Re: [Freeipa-users] Ipa add-user non interactively specifying a password.
Thanks Alexander, I tried the help but there were only two choices. Specify a password interactively --password, or randomly generate one with --random. I agree with you the errors in the output are expected I was just hoping for some undocumented magic. Piping the output from cat into the password prompt is a great idea and does fix the issue I was having. It's not really intuitive but still makes me wonder why I didn't think of that. Anyhow I changed it up a bit with echo testpw | ipa user-add username --first=firstname --last=lastname --password --gidnumber= --noprivate --shell=/bin/bash And it totally works. Thank you again. -Chris On 09/01/2015 03:39 PM, Alexander Bokovoy wrote: On Tue, 01 Sep 2015, Chris Mohler wrote: 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= --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= --noprivate --shell=/bin/bash #ipa: error: --password option does not take a value No Luck.

Re: [Freeipa-users] Ipa add-user non interactively specifying a password.
You could use --random instead of --password, which will force a nice 10
char random PW that can be captured and sent to your user.
