The Administration Server allows editing user accounts, group lists, access privileges, organization units, and other user- and group-specific information for both LDAP and File auth-db types.

Select the configuration from the configuration list. Click Configurations tab to get the list.
Click Access Control > Users tab.
Click New button.
Add User Information.
Enter the user id and password. Optionally enter the group which the user belongs to. The user ID must be unique. In case of LDAP based authentication DB, the Administration Server ensures that the user ID is unique by searching the entire directory from the search base (base DN) down to see if the user ID is in use. Be aware, however, that if you use the Directory Server ldapmodify command line utility (if available) to create a user, that it does not ensure unique user IDs.
Using CLI
For creating a user through CLI, execute the following command.
wadm> create-user --user=admin --password-file=admin.pwd --host=serverhost --port=8989 --config=config1 --authdb=KEYFILE1 --full-name=keyfile-config1-u1 keyfile-config1-u1 |
See CLI Reference, create-user(1).
Select the configuration.
Select the configuration from the configuration list. Click Configurations tab to get the list.
Click Access Control > Groups tab.
Click New button.
Enter Group Name.
From the Add Users To Group section search and add existing users to the group.
Creating a group in authentication database like keyfile or digestfile requires atleast one user to be specified.
Using CLI
For creating a group through CLI, execute the following command.
wadm> create-group --user=admin --password-file=admin.pwd --host=serverhost --port=8989 --config=config1 --authdb=LDAP1 group1 |
See CLI Reference, create-group(1).
Select the configuration.
Select the configuration from the configuration list. Click Configurations tab to get the list.
Click Access Control > Users tab.
Select the authentication database from which you need to delete the user.
Enter the User ID in the Search Users text box and click Search button.
Select the user from the UserID column and click Delete button.
Deleting users(s) from keyfile/digestfile authentication databases will delete the associated group(s) as well if the group(s) contain no members after deletion of the user(s). This happens because groups without members are not allowed for keyfile/digestfile authentication databases.
Using CLI
For deleting a user through CLI, execute the following command.
wadm> delete-user --user=admin --password-file=admin.pwd --host=serverhost --port=8989 --config config1 --authdb KEYFILE1 user1 |
