25.3. Adding an automember rule using IdM CLI
Follow this procedure to add an automember rule using the IdM CLI. For information about automember rules, see Automember rules.
After adding an automember rule, you can add conditions to it using the procedure described in Adding a condition to an automember rule.
Existing entries are not affected by the new rule. If you want to change existing entries, see Applying automember rules to existing entries using IdM CLI.
Prerequisites
- You must be logged in as the administrator. For details, see Using kinit to log in to IdM manually.
- The target group of the new rule must exist in IdM.
Procedure
-
Enter the
ipa automember-addcommand to add an automember rule. When prompted, specify:
- Automember rule. This is the target group name.
- Grouping Type. This specifies whether the rule targets a user group or a host group. To target a user group, enter group. To target a host group, enter hostgroup.
For example, to add an automember rule for a user group named user_group:
$ ipa automember-add Automember Rule: user_group Grouping Type: group -------------------------------- Added automember rule "user_group" -------------------------------- Automember Rule: user_group
Verification
- You can display existing automember rules and conditions in IdM using Viewing existing automember rules using IdM CLI.
