user add

Add a LunaSH user. Adds a new administrative LunaSH (command line) user. This command is available only to the admin account.

LunaSH user names can be 1-32 characters in length, chosen from letters a-z, or A-Z, numbers 0-9, the dash, the dot, or the underscore:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-._

No spaces are allowed. User names cannot begin with a dot, dash, or number. As with any secure system, no two users (regardless of role) can have the same name.

This command prompts for a password, and summarizes the rules for new passwords. The newly-created administrative user cannot do anything in LunaSH until the admin user assigns it a role with the user role add command.

NOTE   Previously, the user add command would create the new named user with default password PASSWORD.

For Luna Appliance Software 7.7.0 and newer, you are prompted to assign a real password, following standard password rules. The new user must be told that temporary new password. The user is prompted to change password when logging in for the first time.
