To add a local user

1. Open an SSH session to the server as the msdpadm user.
2. (Optional) If you want to use a random password for the new user, generate one with the following command:

   setting user random-password

3. Run the following command:

   setting user add-user username=<username> password=<password>

   Where <username> is the username of the user that you want to add, and <password> is a password for that user.

   The password must have between 15 and 32 characters and must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character (_.+~@={}?!).

4. Run the following commands to view the new user:

   • setting user show-user username=<username>

     This command shows the information about the new user.

   • setting user list-users

     This command shows a list of all local users.

To remove a local user

2. Run the following command:

   setting user delete-user username=<username>

   Where <username> is the username of the user that you want to remove.

   Note:

   The msdpadm user cannot be removed.
