Adding ALOM User Accounts

There are two ways to add ALOM user accounts:

• From the sc> prompt in the ALOM command shell
• From the system console using the scadm utility

You can add a maximum of 15 unique user accounts to ALOM.

Adding an ALOM User Account From the sc> Prompt

To add and configure an ALOM user account from the sc> prompt, perform the following steps:

1. At the sc> prompt, type the useradd command, followed by the user name you want to assign to that user. For example:
   
   sc> useradd joeuser
   
2. To assign a password to the account, type the userpassword command, followed by the user name you assigned to the account. ALOM prompts you to specify the password, and to verify the password. Note that ALOM does not echo the password to the screen. For example:
   
   sc> userpassword joeuser
   New password:
   Re-enter new password:
   
   Note: User passwords have certain restrictions. Make sure that the password you assign observes these restrictions.
   
3. To assign permissions to the account, type the userperm command, followed by the user name you assigned to the account and the permission levels you want that user to have. For example:
   
   sc> userperm joeuser cr

To view the permission and password status for a single ALOM user, at the sc> prompt, type the usershow command, followed by the assigned user name. For example:

sc> usershow joeuser

To see the list of ALOM user accounts, permissions, and password status information, at the sc> prompt, type usershow. For example:

sc> usershow

Adding an ALOM User Account Using the scadm Utility

To add and configure an ALOM user account from the system console, use the scadm utility. Perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the system console as root.
2. At the # prompt, type the scadm useradd command, followed by the user name you want to assign to that user. For example:
   
   # scadm useradd joeuser
   
3. To assign a password to the account, type the scadm userpassword command, followed by the user name you assigned to the account. The system prompts you to specify the password, and to verify the password. Note that the system does not echo the password to the screen. For example:
   
   # scadm userpassword joeuser
   New password:
   Re-enter new password:
   
   Note: User passwords have certain restrictions. Make sure that the password you assign observes these restrictions.
   
4. To assign permissions to the account, type the scadm userperm command, followed by the user name you assigned to the account and the permission levels you want that user to have. For example:
   
   # scadm userperm joeuser cr

To view the permission and password status for a single ALOM user, at the # prompt, type the scadm usershow command, followed by the assigned user name. For example:

# scadm usershow joeuser

To see the list of ALOM user accounts, permissions, and password status information, at the # prompt, type scadm usershow. For example:

# scadm usershow
