Creating users without using RBAC

Use the bladduser utility to define a password for the RBACAdmin and BLAdmin users and any other users you want to create outside of the RBAC Manager folder.

A BMC Server Automation system by default provides two predefined roles and users, including the RBACAdmin and BLAdmin users. Neither of those users can log on, however, until you have defined a password for them, which is possible with the bladduser utility.

To create a user using bladduser

1. To create a user, do one of the following from the directory where an Application Server is installed:

   • (Microsoft Windows) Enter the following command: 

     bin\bladduser.exe

   • (UNIX) Enter the following command: 

     ./bin/bladduser

      
     The bladduser utility starts and prompts you for a user name.

2. Enter a user name, such as RBACAdmin. The utility prompts you for a password.

3. Enter a password. The utility prompts you to reenter the password. Confirm the password by typing it again. 

   Warning

   Note

   When using the bladduser utility, you can pass a user name and password as a string of parameters, effectively skipping the need to enter user information about the command line. For example, you can add a user named betty by entering the following command:
   bladduser betty password
