Load one or more local UNIX users from a URI
Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The vserver services name-service unix-user load-from-uri command loads one or more UNIX users from a universal resource identifier (URI). The URI must contain user information in the UNIX /etc/passwd format: user_name :password :user_ID :group_ID :full_name :home_directory :shell . The command discards the value of the password field and of the fields after the full_name field ( home_directory and shell ).

This specifies the Vserver on which the local UNIX user or users are to be located.
-uri {(ftp|http)://(hostname|IPv4 Address|'['IPv6 Address']')…}- URI to Load From-
This specifies the URI from which user information is to be loaded. The URI scheme must be either ftp(s) or http(s).
[-overwrite {true|false}]- Overwrite Entries-
This optionally specifies whether user information from the URI overwrites existing user information. The default setting is
false. [-skip-name-validation {true|false}]- Skip Name Validation-

-
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. -
[-foreground {true|false}]- Load Unix Users file in the Foreground-
If this parameter is set to
false, the operation runs as a job in the background. Otherwise, the command does not return until the operation is complete. The default value istrue.
Examples
