Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The vserver services name-service unix-user create command creates a local UNIX user on a Vserver. You can use local UNIX users for Windows-to-UNIX and UNIX-to-Windows name mappings.
Parameters
-vserver <vserver name>- Vserver-
This parameter specifies the Vserver on which you want to create the local unix user.
-user <text>- User Name-

[-full-name <text>]- User's Full Name-

[-skip-name-validation {true|false}]- Skip Name Validation-
By default, Data ONTAP validates the name to ensure it complies with the following rules:
-
The name contains only valid characters: 0 through 9, A through Z, a through z, "_", ".", and "-"
-
The name does not start with "-"
-
The name does not contain "$" except as the last character
If the parameter is set to
true, the name validation is skipped. -
