ADD USER
Use the ADD USER command to add a user profile to the NETUsers file on
the server. The first time you use this command to add a user profile,
the NETUsers file is created. To display the contents of one or more
user profiles, use the SHOW USER command.
ADD USER can be abbreviated to AU.
To issue this command, you must log on as MANAGER.SYS, have SM
capability, or have AM capability for the account specified in the
command.
NETUtil Syntax
netutil=> ADD USER
Client Node Name/Session Type Name: ClientNodeName
Client Login Name: ClientLoginName
Server Login Name: ServerLoginName
Parameters
ClientNodeName is the node name of the client system.
It follows the node naming conventions of the
datacomm services used by the client node. The
client node name is not case-sensitive and is stored
and displayed exactly as it was entered.
ClientLoginName is the login name of the user on the client.
The MPE/iX client login name follows MPE/iX
naming conventions for a login name and is not
case-sensitive. The session name is not allowed and
the group name is required.
Any or all of the client user login name components
may be wildcarded using the "@". When this is done,
only the non-wildcarded components need to match the
user's actual login. For example, a client login
entry of @.acct7,group6 would allow any user in the
acct7 account and group6 group to have access to the
server login name.
If more than one client login name entry matches the
actual user's login, then the highest prioritized
match will be used in determining the server
login name. Prioritization is as follows: A
fully qualified entry has highest priority
(user7.acct3,group2). A fully wildcarded entry has
the lowest priority (@.@,@). When dealing with
individual components, an actual match for a specific
component takes priority over a wildcard match. When
a conflict with this arises between different
components, then the account is prioritized first,
the user second, and finally the group. For example,
@.acct3,@ would have a higher priority than
user2.@,group1, so the corresponding server login for
@.acct3,@ would be used.
The HP-UX client login name follows HP-UX naming
conventions for a login name, cannot exceed eight
characters in length, and is case-sensitive. The
login can be wildcarded with the use of the "@"
symbol.
The client login name is stored and displayed exactly
as it was entered.
ServerLoginName is the login name used on the server for the user
accessing the DBEnvironment on the server. This name
follows MPE/iX naming conventions for a login name
and is not case-sensitive. The session and group
names are optional. The server login name is stored
and displayed exactly as it was entered. (For
guidelines on specifying session and group names in
the server login name, see "Assigning a Server Login
Name" under "Setting Up ALLBASE/NET on the Server" in
the "Setting Up ALLBASE/NET" chapter.)
The server login name allows the client node name and
the client login name to be mapped to a single login
on the server. Only one server login name is allowed
for each client node name and client login name
combination. When possible, the server login name
should be the same as the client login name. This
avoids problems in some applications that make
assumptions about client and server logins. Refer to
"Client and Server Login Names" under "Cross-System
Connectivity" in the "Setting Up ALLBASE/NET"
chapter.
