Adding and removing local users from the deduplication shell
Local users for the storage server are managed from the deduplication shell for products other than NetBackup Flex Scale. For NetBackup Flex Scale, use the NetBackup Flex Scale management console. All users with the appliance administrator role have access to the deduplication shell.
Use the following procedures to add or remove local users from the deduplication shell.
To add a local user
- Open an SSH session to the server as the msdpadm user.
- (Optional) If you want to use a random password for the new user, generate one with the following command:
setting user random-password
- 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 (_./@*!%#).
- 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
- Open an SSH session to the server as the msdpadm user.
- 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.
