Creating user accounts are different on each system..... in general you need:
[list=1][*]A correct entry of the user in the /etc/passwd file.[*]A home directory for the user that matches the entry in the passwd file.[*]A login shell that is in the default environmental path of the user.[*]A minmal set of 'dot' files that hold configuration information for profiles and shells.[*]A minmal set of environment variables for the user shell that come from either the user shell profile above or the system profile for the shell.[/list=1]
Those are the building blocks.....

eurephiadm users --password|-p [-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
eurephiadm users [-h|--help [<mode>]]
DESCRIPTION
eurephiadm users manages eurephia user accounts. It provides an interface for listing, creating new, modify and delete user accounts.
MODES
Available modes:
-l | --list
[-S|--sort <sort keys>]
List all user accounts. Providing -S|--sort and a sort key will define the sort order of the list. Valid sort keys are:
uid - user ID
username - User name belonging to the user account
activated - When the user account was activated
deactivated - When the user account was deactivated
lastaccess - When the user account was last used
-s | --show
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>] [-l|--lastlog] [-L|--lastlog-details] [-a|--attempts] [-b|--blacklist]
Show user account details. --uid or --username are required. The other arguments only defined which kind of information to show.
-a | --activate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Activate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-d | --deactivate
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Deactivate a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-A | --add
[-u|--username <user name>] [-P|--password <plain text password>] [-C|--certid <certificate ID>] [-D|--digest <certificate SHA1
digest>] [-c|--certfile <certificate file>] [-2|--pkcs12]
Add a new user account. --username is required. If you want to assign a password for the new user account via the command line,
provide the password with --password.
To associate this user account against an already regstistered certificate, it can be done by either refering to the certificate ID
in eurephia using --certid or providing the certificate SHA1 digest/fingerprint to --digest.
A brand new certificate can be registered and linked to the user account directly if you have access to the certificate file. The
file can be in either PEM/DER format or PKCS#12. Use --certfile to indicate the certificate file to extract the information from
and --pkcs12 if it is a PKCS#12 file.
-D | --delete
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Delete a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-p | --password
[-i|--uid <user id>] [-u|--username <user name>]
Change password on a user account. --uid or --username is required.
-h | --help
[<mode>]
Show a help screen. Without any arguments, all modes are listed. Providing a mode will show more information about the chosen
mode.
