Examples

tarantella object new_person \
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=Indigo Jones" \
  --surname Jones \
  --user indigo \
  --email indigo@indigo-insurance.com \
  --inherit true \
  --conntype '*:*:SSL'

Creates a new person object for Indigo Jones. Indigo inherits webtop content from the organization object, and is given a secure (SSL-based) connection.

tarantella object new_person --file - <<EOF
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/cn=Indigo Jones" --surname Jones
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=IT/cn=Bill Orange" --surname Orange
  --name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Finance/cn=Mulan Rouge" --surname Rouge
