Create new account from command line

From PTAGISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Normally, users create accounts for themselves through the web interface. There is also a web interface for PTAGIS Administrators to create new accounts. Both of these web interfaces use the java class util.SEFInterface. If necessary, this class can be executed from the command line. This might be necessary when troubleshooting. Here is the procedure:

  • login to one of the cluster machines
  • cd $PTAGIS_ROOT
  • bin/run.sh util.SEFInterface web/ptagis/WEB-INF/sef.properties createAccount <username> <password> '""'

More information about creating new accounts is in install/maintenance doc section 4.1.6.2, 4.1.6.3, 4.2.1

For example: 

bash-2.05# pwd
/global/ds1/pitweb/ptagis-1.0
bash-2.05# bin/run.sh util.SEFInterface web/ptagis/WEB-INF/sef.properties createAccount dlwarf newuser '""'

after running the bin/run.sh command, you'll see something like this: 

propsFilePath=web/ptagis/WEB-INF/sef.properties
nResult=200
statusCode=200
statusText=OK
responseBody=Account for user dlwarf is created.
Could not synchronize with LDAP. LDAP Server setting is empty.
Could not add user to the group .
createAccount(): failed
Account for user dlwarf is created.
Could not synchronize with LDAP. LDAP Server setting is empty.
Could not add user to the group .
DONE.

If you get this message: 

createAccount(): failed
Account creation failed. <!--Error code:10-->
Error message: Execution of this operation was denied by license
policies.

It means that there isn't room to create an account and someone must be deleted before creating a new one. After upgrading LDAP and SREE to 7.0 the new account class began to fail. The user would see no error, and in fact be send an email with their account and password. But this shows up in weblogic stdout: 

LDAPUserMgr.LDAPUserMgr()
LDAPConnection.connect()
LDAPUserMgr.doesUserExist(deleteme4)
LDAPUserMgr.createUser(deleteme4)

And if I run the java class directly, it looks like this: 

reedi.psmfc.org:C1:root: > bin/run.sh util.SEFInterface web/ptagis/WEB-INF/sef.properties createAccount deleteme newuser '""'
propsFilePath=web/ptagis/WEB-INF/sef.properties
createAccount(): failed
