Provisioning an End User Account

This section describes how to use the Delegated Administration Utility console to provision a test user account. You give the test account access to the evaluation solution's portal, mail, and calendar services. For a summary of the command syntax, see Delegated Administrator Command Line Details.

In a production system, Java ES administrators manage users. User management tasks not demonstrated in this chapter include LDAP organizational planning, LDAP database management, and delegated administration.

To Create a Test End User Account

Steps

1. Change directory to the Delegated Administration Utility directory:

   cd /opt/SUNWcomm/bin

2. Run the command that creates the test user account and provisions it for messaging and calendar services:

   ./commadmin user create -D admin -w password -l TestUser -F Test -L User -W password -S mail -H evaluation_host -E test.user@examplecorp.com -S cal -B evaluation_host -J 0 -T America/Los_Angeles -k legacy

3. Run the command that additionally provisions your new account for portal services:

   ./commadmin user modify -D admin -w password -l TestUser -A +objectclass:sunssoadapterperson -A +objectclass:sunportaldesktopperson

   You have created a user account and provisioned it for the messaging, calendar, and portal services.
