tacmd createUser

Description

Use the tacmd createUser command to create a new user in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The user ID and password for Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server log in are required by this command. To create a new Tivoli Enterprise Portal user, the log in user must have the following permissions on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal:
