Creates a new file user.
Synopsis
asadmin [asadmin-options] create-file-user [--help]
[--authrealmnameauth_realm_name]
[--target target
[--groups user_groups[:user_groups]*] user_nameDescription
The create-file-user subcommand creates an entry in the keyfile with the specified username, password, and groups.
Multiple groups can be created by separating them with a colon (:). If auth_realm_name is not specified, an entry is created in the keyfile for the default realm.
If auth_realm_name is specified, an entry is created in the keyfile using the auth_realm_name.
You can use the --passwordfile option of the asadmin command to specify the password for the user. The password file entry must be of the form AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD=user-password.
If a password is not provided, this subcommand fails if secure administration is enabled and the user being created is an administrative user.
This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
