Before You Begin

When Exalogic Control is initiated and started by the Exalogic Configuration Utility (ECU), a default root user account is created. This root user must create the Exalogic Systems Admin user in Exalogic Control.

When you create a user, the user name and its associated password are imported from the local directory on the VM hosting the Enterprise Controller component of Exalogic Control. You must add a user name to this local directory before you can add it as a local user in Exalogic Control.

To create a user on the VM hosting the Enterprise Controller, do the following:

  1. Run the useradd command, as in the following example:

    # useradd -d /home/ELAdmin -s /bin/bash -m ELAdmin

  2. Run the passwd command to set a password for the newly created local user, as in the following example:

    # passwd ELAdmin

  3. Repeat this procedure to create other local users, such as CloudAdmin, User1, and User2.
