8.1.1 Adding HPSS Users
The hpssuser utility can be used by the administrator to add a UNIX User ID, a DCE User ID, an FTP User ID, and an SSM User ID for an HPSS user if these IDs do not already exist. The hpssuser utility can be invoked to add all four types of User IDs for a user or to add an individual User ID.
8.1.1.1 Add all User IDs
The utility creates a UNIX User ID, a DCE User ID, an FTP User ID, and an SSM User ID for an HPSS user.
Invoke the hpssuser utility as follows to add the required User ID for an HPSS user:
The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding all User IDs:
DCE: Adding DCE User `user1' ...
Acquiring cell_admin credentials ...
Enter User's Full Name [John Smith]: User1 Test ID
Enter User's Password [user1]:
Enter Home Directory [/home/user1]:
Enter UID [888]: 785 Enter Group [hpss]:
DCE: Account information for `user1' added
DCE: User `user1' (User1 Test ID) added to DCE Registry
FTP: Adding FTP User `user1' ...
FTP: Creating directory for user ... Please wait
scrub> scrub> Umask set to 022
scrub> scrub> Destroying cell_admin credentials ...
AIX: Adding AIX User `user1' ...
SSM: Adding SSM User `user1' ...
Enter Hostname (where SAMMI Runtime resides) [hpss]:
SSM: The Data Server needs to be recycled for the changes to take effect.
Ensure that the Name Server and the Bitfile Server are up and running before adding the FTP or DCE User ID. The
hpssuser
utility will not be able to create the user's home directory if the Name Server service is not available.
8.1.1.2 Add a UNIX User ID
The utility invokes the UNIX mkuser utility to create the User ID and Password.
Invoke the hpssuser utility as follows to add a UNIX User ID:
The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding a UNIX User ID:
UNIX: Adding AIX User `user1' ...
Enter User's Full Name [John Smith]: User1 Test ID
Enter User's Password [user1]:
8.1.1.3 Add a DCE User ID
The hpssuser utility invokes the DCE rgy_edit utility to create the DCE principal and account.
Invoke the hpssuser utility as follows to add a DCE User ID:
The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding a DCE User ID:
DCE: Adding DCE User `user1' ...
Acquiring cell_admin credentials ...
Enter User's Full Name [John Smith]: User1 Test ID
Enter User's Password [user1]:
Enter Home Directory [/home/user1]:
DCE: Account information for `user1' added
DCE: User `user1' (User1 Test ID) added to DCE Registry
If Site-style accounting is used and Account Validation is disabled, add the
-aaid=<id>
option to the above invocation to apply a default account index to a user.
The hpssuser utility set the DCE pwdvalid flag to "no". DCE user must changed their DCE password upon logging onto DCE for the first time.
Ensure that the Name Server and the Bitfile Server are up and running before adding the FTP or DCE User ID. The hpssuser utility will not be able to create the user's home directory if the Name Server service is not available.
8.1.1.4 Add an FTP User ID
The hpssuser utility adds a password entry in the FTP Password file and create the user's home directory in HPSS.

The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding an FTP User ID:
FTP: Adding FTP User `user1' ...
Enter User's Full Name [John Smith]: User1 Test ID
Enter User's Password [user1]:
Enter Home Directory [/home/user1]:
FTP: Creating directory for user ... Please wait
scrub> scrub> Umask set to 022
Ensure that the Name Server and the Bitfile Server are up and running before adding the FTP User ID. The
hpssuser
utility will not be able to create the user's home directory if the Name Server service is not available.
8.1.1.5 Add an SSM User ID
The hpssuser utility creates an SSM Configuration directory for the user, creates the SSM User Configuration file ( ssm_console.dat ), adds the user's ID and security level in the SSM Authorization file ( user_authorization.dat ) and adds the user session's communication information into the api_config.dat file. Refer to [Section H.5] for more complete details on how the hpssuser utility sets up an SSM user. Refer to 11.1 SSM Security for more information on the SSM user security.

The utility will prompt the user for the required data. Following is an example of adding an SSM User ID:
SSM: Adding SSM User `user1' ...
Enter User's Full Name [John Smith]: User1 Test ID
Enter Hostname (where SAMMI Runtime resides) [hpss]:
1. User
2. Privileged User
