Creating an Administrator and a Test User

This procedure uses the dicfg command line tool to create an administrator and a test user for the initial DiveLine configuration.

NOTE: Setting environment variables is dependent on the shell you are using. This procedure uses the following dicfg format to create the administrator and test user:

./dicfg -dataroot $DIDATAROOT <dicfg commands>

$DIDATAROOT is the path to /dl-dataroot that is specified in the init-di-diveline file.

To create users for DiveLine:

1. Go to the /executables directory.

   cd /di/platform/executables

2. View the permissions for dicfg.

   ls -l dicfg

   The permissions display. If the permissions are -rwxrwxrwx, you can create users. Proceed to step 3.

   If you do not have permission to create users:

   • Enable the execute permission.

     sudo chmod a+rwx dicfg

   • Verify that the permissions have changed.

     ls -l dicfg

     The permissions display as -rwxrwxrwx.

3. Create the administrator user ID.

   sudo ./dicfg -dataroot /di/platform/dl-dataroot add user -user <admin username> -password <admin password> -administrator true

   For example:

   sudo ./dicfg -dataroot /di/platform/dl-dataroot add user -user admin -password adminpassword -administrator true

4. Create the test user ID.

   sudo ./dicfg -dataroot /di/platform/dl-dataroot add user -user <test user name> -password <test user password>

   For example:

   sudo ./dicfg -dataroot /di/platform/dl-dataroot add user -user tester -password testuserpassword
