This topic describes the process for creating an account using the command line tool.
You must be a cloud administrator to use this command. Accounts created are available for immediate access.
To create an account, run the following command:
euare-accountcreate -a account_name
When an account is created by
euare-accountcreate command,
an "admin" user is created by default.
Note: Note the following security considerations of the "admin" user
when an account is initially created:
- When an account is created, the "admin" user is created without a password.
- The "admin" user does not have the ability to log in through the Eucalyptus Management
Console without a login profile being set.
- There are no password complexity requirements applied to passwords created for users (admin/generic).
Note: Eucalyptus has discontinued account registration status retrieval, however, for
compatibility with older versions of Eucalyptus, the ability to view and manipulate
registration status is limited to the system administrator through Euca2ools. For more
information about the command line tools, see the
Euca2ools Reference Guide.
