Environment
Novell Privileged User Manager 2.3.0
Situation
Creating hosts and domains via the command line (reglcnt)
Resolution
Apply Privileged User Manager 2.3.0 HF3 (2.3.0-3) or greater to the Registry Managers. Agents may be older version (2.2.2, 2.3.0, 2.3.0-2, etc).
The 'unifi regclnt register' command which is used to register an Agent after an install can now create host and domain records from the command line during the registration process.
In order to allow a user, during command line registration, to create hosts or domains the following roles must be configured for the user in the Framework User Manager: (Note: Admin has these rights by default.)
To allow creation of host records during registration:
Module: unifi
Role: register_host
To allow creation of domain records during registration:
Module: unifi
Role: register_domain
To define the domain where the host should be created use a / syntax to reference the domain hierarchy when entering the agent name e.g.
/mydomain/mysubdomain1/mysubdomain2/myagentname
which would create the following underneath the Hosts domain.
Hosts
- mydomain
-mysudomain1
- mysubdomain2
-myagentname
Syntax:
/opt/novell/npum/sbin/unifi regclnt register <Manager> 29120 <hostname> /<agentname> admin password
