CreateUser

CreateUser

Creates a user account in the native security domain. You can then assign roles, permissions, and privileges to a user account. The roles, permissions, and privileges assigned to the user determine the tasks that the user can perform within the domain.
The infacmd isp CreateUser command uses the following syntax: 
CreateUser 

<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name

<-UserName|-un> user_name

<-Password|-pd> password

[<-SecurityDomain|-sdn> security_domain]

[<-Gateway|-hp> gateway_host1:port gateway_host2:port...]

[<-ResilienceTimeout|-re> timeout_period_in_seconds]

<-NewUserName|-nu> new_user_name

<-NewUserPassword|-np> new_user_password

[<-NewUserFullName|-nf> new_user_full_name]

[<-NewUserDescription|-ds> new_user_description]

[<-NewUserEMailAddress|-em> new_user_email_address]

[<-NewUserPhoneNumber|-pn> new_user_phone_number]
The following table describes infacmd isp CreateUser options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
domain_name
Required. Name of the Informatica domain. You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-UserName
-un
user_name
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.
Optional if the domain uses Kerberos authentication. To run the command with single sign-on, do not set the user name. If you set the user name, the command runs without single sign-on.
-Password
-pd
password
Required if you specify the user name. Password for the user name. The password is case sensitive. You can set a password with the -pd option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -pd option takes precedence.
-SecurityDomain
-sdn
security_domain
Required if the domain uses LDAP authentication. Optional if the domain uses native authentication or Kerberos authentication. Name of the security domain to which the domain user belongs. You can set a security domain with the -sdn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DOMAIN. If you set a security domain name with both methods, the -sdn option takes precedence. The security domain name is case sensitive.
If the domain uses native or LDAP authentication, the default is Native. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, the default is the LDAP security domain created during installation. The name of the security domain is the same as the user realm specified during installation.
-Gateway
-hp
gateway_host1:port gateway_host2:port ...
Required if the gateway connectivity information in the domains.infa file is out of date. The host names and port numbers for the gateway nodes in the domain.
-ResilienceTimeout
-re
timeout_period_in_seconds
Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or re-establish a connection to the domain. If you omit this option, infacmd uses the timeout value specified in the INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT environment variable. If no value is specified in the environment variable, the default of 180 seconds is used.
-NewUserName
-nu
new_user_name
Required. Login name for the user account. The login name for a user account must be unique within the security domain to which it belongs.
The login name is not case sensitive and can be between 1 and 80 characters long. It cannot include a tab, newline character, or the following special characters: 
, + " \ < > ; / * & % ?
The name can include an ASCII space character except for the first and last character. All other space characters are not allowed.
-NewUserPassword
-np
new_user_password
Required. Password for the user account. You can set a password with the -np option or the environment variable INFA_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both these methods, the password set with the -np option takes precedence.
For a native user account, if you enable password complexity, use the following guidelines when you create or change a password:
  • The length of the password must be at least eight characters.
  • It must be a combination of an alphabet character, a numeric character and a non-alphanumeric character, such as:
    ! \ " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
When you use special characters in a password, the shell sometimes interprets them differently. For example, $ is interpreted as a variable. In this case, use an escape character to escape the special character.
-NewUserFullName
-nf
new_user_full_name
Optional. Full name for the user account. To enter a name that contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters, enclose the name in quotation marks. The full name cannot include the following special characters: 
< > “
-NewUserDescription
-ds
new_user_description
Optional. Description of the user account. To enter a description that contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters, enclose it in quotation marks.
The description cannot include the following special characters: 
< > “
-NewUserEMailAddress
-em
new_user_email_address
Optional. Email address for the user. To enter an address that contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters, enclose it in quotation marks.
The email address cannot include the following special characters: 
< > “
Enter the email address in the format
UserName@Domain
.
-NewUserPhoneNumber
-pn
new_user_phone_number
Optional. Telephone number for the user. To enter a telephone number that contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters, enclose it in quotation marks.
The telephone number cannot include the following special characters: 
< > “
