help

create-fv-user

-u short-name -l long-name [-p password]

Creates a new FileVaulted user protected by the inserted smart card or token.

Options:

-u short-name

Specify the short (i.e., login) name to be used for the account.

-l long-name

Specify the full name to be used for the account. If the full name contains spaces, the name must be enclosed by quotation marks.

-p password

Password for the user's login keychain (optional).

Examples

tokenadmin create-fv-user -u fvtest3 -p foo -l "FV Test User 3"

Create a new FileVaulted user with short name "fvtest3" and full name "FV Test User 3", with the new FileVault image being protected by the inserted token. The password for the user's login keychain is "foo". Note: after creating this user with tokenadmin, you must run "sc_auth accept -u fvtest3" or this user will not be able to log in.

Notes

tokenadmin will eventually be merged into the security(1) command.
