You can create repository users from information contained in an input file.
Each imported user starts with the header object_type:dm_user. Follow the header with a list of attribute_name:attribute_value pairs. The attributes user_name and user_os_name are required. In addition, the following default values are assigned when the LDIF file is imported:
Table 4.5. Default values for new users
| Argument | Default |
|---|---|
user_login_name | username |
privileges | 0 (None) |
folder | /username |
group | docu |
client_capability | 1 |
Each attribute_name:attribute_value pair must be on a new line. For example:
object_type:dm_user user_name:Pat Smith user_group:accounting acl_domain:smith acl_name:Global User Default ACL object_type:dm_user user_name:John Brown
If the ldif file contains umlauts, accent marks, or other extended characters, store the file as a UTF-8 file, or users whose names contain the extended characters are not imported.
The attributes you can set through the LDIF file are:
user_name user_os_name user_os_domain user_login_name user_login_domain user_password user_address user_db_name user_group_name user_privileges (set to integer value) default_folder user_db_name description acl_domain acl_name user_source (set to integer value) home_docbase user_state (set to integer value) client_capability (set to integer value) globally_managed (set to T or F) alias_set_id (set to an object ID) workflow_disabled (set to T or F) user_xprivileges (set to integer value) failed_auth_attempt (set to integer value)
You can specify as many of the attributes as you wish, but the attribute_names must match the actual attributes of the type.
The attributes may be included in any order after the first line (object_type:dm_user). The Boolean attributes are specified using T (for true) or F (for false). Use of true, false, 1, or 0 is deprecated.
Any ACLs that you identify by acl_domain and acl_name must exist before you run the file to import the users. Additionally, the ACLs must represent system ACLs. They cannot represent private ACLs.
Any groups that you identify by user_group_name must exist before you run the file to import the users.
Content Server creates the default folder for each user if it does not already exist.
