Using the opensearchuser Script

5.5 Using the opensearchuser Script

To add users or roles after installation, use the opensearchuser script, found in OSK_HOME/bin. The opensearchuser script has the following uses:

To add a new user or change password for a user:
```
opensearchuser adduser [user]
```
To add roles for an existing user:
```
opensearchuser addrole [user]
```
To view existing users:
```
opensearchuser listusers
```
To view roles of a user:
```
opensearchuser listrole [user]
```
To remove a user:
```
opensearchuser removeuser [user]
```
To encrypt the given text:
```
opensearchuser encrypt [text]
```
This is used for encrypting the keystore password while configuring SSL. The password needs to be encrypted in the opensearch.yml file.
