|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The <B>kas create</B> command creates an entry in the Authentication
|
|
Database for the user named by the <B>-name</B> argument.
|
|
<P>To avoid having the account's initial password echo visibly at the
|
|
shell prompt, omit the <B>-initial_password</B> argument; the command
|
|
interpreter prompts for the password and does not echo it visibly.
|
|
Whether or not <B>-initial_password</B> is omitted, the Authentication
|
|
Server converts the password into a form suitable for use as an encryption
|
|
key, and records it in the entry's key field.
|
|
<P>To alter settings in an Authentication Database entry, use the <B>kas
|
|
setfields</B> command. To examine an entry, use the <B>kas
|
|
examine</B> command. To list every entry in the database, use the
|
|
<B>kas list</B> command.
|
|
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
|
|
<DL>
|
|
<P><DT><B>-name
|
|
</B><DD>Names the new Authentication Database entry. Because it is the name
|
|
under which the user logs in, it must obey the restrictions that many
|
|
operating systems impose on user names (usually, to contain no more than eight
|
|
lowercase letters).
|
|
<P><DT><B>-initial_password
|
|
</B><DD>Sets the user's password; provide a character string that can
|
|
include uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals and punctuation. The
|
|
Authentication Server scrambles the string into an octal string suitable for
|
|
use as an encryption key before placing it in the entry's key
|
|
field. If this argument is omitted, the command interpreter prompts for
|
|
the string and does not echo it visibly.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-admin_username
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the
|
|
Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details,
|
|
see the introductory <B>kas</B> reference page.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-password_for_admin
|
|
</B><DD>Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is
|
|
omitted (as recommended), the <B>kas</B> command interpreter prompts for
|
|
it and does not echo it visibly. For more details, see the introductory
|
|
<B>kas</B> reference page.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-cell
|
|
</B><DD>Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
|
|
the introductory <B>kas</B> reference page.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-servers
|
|
</B><DD>Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to
|
|
establish a connection. For more details, see the introductory
|
|
<B>kas</B> reference page.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-noauth
|
|
</B><DD>Assigns the unprivileged identity <B>anonymous</B> to the
|
|
issuer. For more details, see the introductory <B>kas</B> reference
|
|
page.
|
|
<P><DT><B>-help
|
|
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The following example shows the prompts that appear when an administrator
|
|
logged in as <B>admin</B> creates an Authentication Database entry for the
|
|
user <B>smith</B>, and does not include either the
|
|
<B>-initial_password</B> or <B>-password_for_admin</B>
|
|
arguments.
|
|
<PRE> % <B>kas create smith</B>
|
|
Password for admin:
|
|
initial_password:
|
|
Verifying, please re-enter initial_password:
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The issuer must have the <TT>ADMIN</TT> flag set on his or her
|
|
Authentication Database entry.
