Create a user with particular FID in GroupWise 2014
Resolution
-
Type the following command and press Enter
curl -k --user admin:password https://mymobile.lab.novell.com:9710/gwadmin-service/domains/dom/postoffices/po/users -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data "{\"name\": \"user1\", \"fileId\": \"abc\"}"-
Replace the word admin with the userid used to login to Administration Console.
-
Replace password with the actual password
-
Replace https://mymobile.lab.novell.com:9710 with the URL of the Administration Console
-
Replace dom with the domain name
-
Replace po with the Post Office name
-
Replace user1 with the userid to be created
-
Replace abc with the FID to be assigned
-
-
Login to the Administration Console and check if the user was created with the proper FID
- If a FID is being re-used (e.g. recreating a deleted user) then GroupWise will need to be restarted at this point
- A password needs to be created for the user before the User DB is created and the user can log in
