ldapadduser(1)

💖 ldapadduser 💖

okay bestie, so this is ldapadduser from section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it is literally the moment your little script gets to say "new friend unlocked" 🫶. It adds a POSIX user account to LDAP. That's it. That's the whole job. And she does it flawlessly. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ldapadduser — adds a POSIX user account to LDAP. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ldapadduser <username> <groupname|gid> [uid]

three little slots and boom, you got a whole new person in your directory, no cap 🎀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• <username> — the name of the user you're adding. yes, the actual name. the whole point. the main character. 👑
• <groupname | gid> — the group of the user you're adding, and you can hand it over either as the group name or as the gid. pick your fighter, both slay. 🍓
• [uid] — the uid of the user you're adding. it's optional bestie!! if you don't specify it, it gets automatically computed for you. the script is doing the math so you don't have to 😌✨

ngl the square brackets on [uid] are doing heavy lifting here — they're the universe telling you it's optional. the other two? mandatory. no skipping. 🫶
