The tarantella webserver add_trusted_user command

Syntax

tarantella webserver add_trusted_user username

Description

Adds the username and password of a user that is to be trusted for third party authentication.

After you enter the username, Secure Global Desktop prompts you to enter the password. The password must be at least six characters long.

You must restart the Secure Global Desktop Web Server (tarantella webserver restart) to activate the new user.

You can't use this command to change the password of a trusted user. You must delete the trusted user first (tarantella webserver delete_trusted_user).

This command adds the username to the "database" of Tomcat users in /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcatversion/conf/tomcat-users.xml and creates an SHA digest of the password. The user is also assigned the "SGDExternalAuth" role, which is required to access the Secure Global Desktop external authentication web service.

Examples

tarantella webserver add_trusted_user L3nNy_G0db3r

Adds L3nNy_G0db3r as a trusted user.
