DESCRIPTION

The hauser command adds users to the VCS configuration. After being added, users can monitor and administer VCS from the GUI. Before users can be added, the configuration must first be set to read-write mode. After changes have been made to a user account, the configuration should be reset to read-only mode. In secure clusters, where Symantec Product Authentication Service is configured (SecureClus=1), operating system users can be assigned to an operating system level user group and that group can be assigned VCS privileges. For example the OSgroup, OSusers1, can be assigned AdministratorGroup privileges for all groups or a specified set of groups.

OPTIONS

-add username [-priv Administrator | Operator [-group group(s)]]
  Add a user to the VCS configuration. The user can be added with privileges. For example, \(oqhauser -add tom -priv Administrator -group grp1\(cq would add "tom" as the Group Administrator for group grp1.

If you configured the cluster to use Symantec Product Authentication Service for security, then you can also add a user with Guest privilege to the VCS configuration as follows:

-add username [-priv Administrator | Operator | Guest [-group group(s)]]

-addpriv username Administrator | Operator | Guest [-group group(s)]
  Adds privileges to the user username. For example, \(oqhauser -addpriv tom Administrator -group grp1 grp2\(cq would make "tom" the Group Administrator for groups grp1 and grp2. \(oqhauser -addpriv harry Operator\(cq would make "harry" the Cluster Operator.
-delpriv username Administrator | Operator | Guest [-group group(s)]
  Deletes the specified privileges of the user username. For example, \(oqhauser -delpriv tom Administrator -group grp1\(cq would remove "tom" from the Group Administrator of group grp1.
-addpriv groupname AdministratorGroup | OperatorGroup [-group group(s)]
  Adds specified privileges (Group Administrator or Group Operator) to the group of operating system users, groupname.

For example, \(oqhauser -addpriv orausers AdministratorGroup -group grp1\(cq adds the specified privileges (Group Administrator or Group Operator) to the group of operating system users, groupname.

-delpriv groupname AdministratorGroup | OperatorGroup [-group group(s)]
  Deletes the specified privileges (Group Administrator or Group Operator) from the group of operating system users, groupname.

For example, \(oqhauser -delpriv orausers AdministratorGroup -group grp1\(cq removes the Group Administrator privileges for group grp1 from all users in the operating system group orausers.

-update username
  Prompt a change of password for the existing user. Not applicable if cluster is secure (SecureClus=1).
-delete username
  Delete a user from the list of registered users.
-display [username]
  Displays a list of users and its privileges in a formatted output. If a user username is specified, it displays the privileges for that user.
-list Displays a list of all users on the cluster.

NOTES

The following name is reserved:

     VCSGuest

Creating an account with this name provides read-only access to VCS. In the case of non-secure clusters, the password is encrypted before being written to the configuration file. The user names and passwords are unrelated to exiting user names and passwords on any of the host systems.

In secure clusters, note that passwords are not stored in the VCS main.cf configuration file. User names need to be fully qualified (for example, tom@system1.example.com).
