UserAccountsManager.bat

User accounts are organized into groups and a set of permissions are assigned to each group using JAAS. To manage the user accounts, use the script file (UserAccountsManager.bat) located in the home directory. This is the directory where the CIMOM is installed, default is c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SMI-S\cimom. To find the list of options supported, run this script file with the ?h option.

To list the available groups and users:
UserAccountsManager -LG

Note: There is no other input parameters to add or delete groups. User accounts in the Administrator group have complete control of all operations. User accounts in the User group can only execute read-only operations.

To Add a user:
UserAccountsManager -AU -G <Group> -U <UserName> -P <Password>

Example:
UserAccountsManager -AU -G Administrator -U Tom -P forest

Note: The parameter Group must be one of the groups listed by the -LG option. A user name can exist in only one group.

To change password for a user
UserAccountsManager -CP -U <UserName> -O <OldPassword> -N <NewPassword>

Example
UserAccountsManager -CP -U Tom -O forest -N pathway

To remove a user
UserAccountsManager -DU -U <UserName>
