Importing Operating System Users Using the Security Administration (secadm) Utility

The secadm provision os command creates actors and identities based on user information defined for the machine hosting the environment. Depending on the options that you choose when importing users, you can

  • load users into operating system services

  • load the current operating system user, a single specified user or a group of users

  • specify a role to be assigned to actors

To load operating system users

At a Landmark command prompt, type

secadm provision os [group|user] [-C] [-o] [-p password] [-a [-r role]] [-v displayoptions]

Consider the following options:

Program Option Description

password Specify the default password to be assigned to the loaded identities.
-a Create actors for the imported users, and link them to the loaded user IDs.
