NAME

       sss_useradd - create a new user

SYNOPSIS

       sss_useradd [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       sss_useradd creates a new user account using the values specified on the command line plus the default values from the system.

OPTIONS

       -u,--uid UID
	   Set the UID of the user to the value of UID. If not given, it is chosen automatically.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   The home directory of the user account. The default is to append the LOGIN name to /home and use that as the home directory. The base
	   that is prepended before LOGIN is tunable with "user_defaults/baseDirectory" setting in sssd.conf.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   The user's login shell. The default is currently /bin/bash. The default can be changed with "user_defaults/defaultShell" setting in
	   sssd.conf.

       -G,--groups GROUPS
	   A list of existing groups this user is also a member of.

       -m,--create-home
	   Create the user's home directory if it does not exist. The files and directories contained in the skeleton directory (which can be
	   defined with the -k option or in the config file) will be copied to the home directory.

       -M,--no-create-home
	   Do not create the user's home directory. Overrides configuration settings.

       -k,--skel SKELDIR
	   The skeleton directory, which contains files and directories to be copied in the user's home directory, when the home directory is
	   created by sss_useradd.

	   Special files (block devices, character devices, named pipes and unix sockets) will not be copied.

	   This option is only valid if the -m (or --create-home) option is specified, or creation of home directories is set to TRUE in the
	   configuration.

       -Z,--selinux-user SELINUX_USER
	   The SELinux user for the user's login. If not specified, the system default will be used.

       -?,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.

NAME

       sss_seed - seed the SSSD cache with a user

SYNOPSIS

       sss_seed [options] -D DOMAIN -n USER

DESCRIPTION

       sss_seed seeds the SSSD cache with a user entry and temporary password. If a user entry is already present in the SSSD cache then the entry
       is updated with the temporary password.

OPTIONS

       -D,--domain DOMAIN
	   Provide the name of the domain in which the user is a member of. The domain is also used to retrieve user information. The domain must
	   be configured in sssd.conf. The DOMAIN option must be provided. Information retrieved from the domain overrides what is provided in the
	   options.

       -n,--username USER
	   The username of the entry to be created or modified in the cache. The USER option must be provided.

       -u,--uid UID
	   Set the UID of the user to UID.

       -g,--gid GID
	   Set the GID of the user to GID.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
	   Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
	   Set the home directory of the user to HOME_DIR.

       -s,--shell SHELL
	   Set the login shell of the user to SHELL.

       -i,--interactive
	   Interactive mode for entering user information. This option will only prompt for information not provided in the options or retrieved
	   from the domain.

       -p,--password-file PASS_FILE
	   Specify file to read user's password from. (if not specified password is prompted for)

       -?,--help
	   Display help message and exit.

NOTES

       The length of the password (or the size of file specified with -p or --password-file option) must be less than or equal to PASS_MAX bytes
       (64 bytes on systems with no globally-defined PASS_MAX value).
