11.3. Adding an IdM stage user defined in an LDIF file

Procedure

1. On the external server, create an LDIF file that contains information about the new user:

   dn: uid=stageidmuser,cn=staged users,cn=accounts,cn=provisioning,dc=idm,dc=example,dc=com
   changetype: add
   objectClass: top
   objectClass: inetorgperson
   uid: stageidmuser
   sn: surname
   givenName: first_name
   cn: full_name

2. Transfer the LDIF file from the external server to the IdM server:

   $ scp add-stageidmuser.ldif provisionator@server.idm.example.com:/provisionator/
   Password:
   add-stageidmuser.ldif                                                                                          100%  364   217.6KB/s   00:00

3. Use the SSH protocol to connect to the IdM server as provisionator:

   $ ssh provisionator@server.idm.example.com
   Password:

4. On the IdM server, obtain the Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) for the provisionator account:

   $ kinit provisionator

5. Enter the ldapadd command with the -f option and the name of the LDIF file. Specify the name of the IdM server and the port number:

   $ ldapadd -h server.idm.example.com -p 389 -f add-stageidmuser.ldif
