NAME

       sss_seed - seed the SSSD cache with a user

SYNOPSIS

       sss_seed [options] -D DOMAIN -n USER

DESCRIPTION

       sss_seed seeds the SSSD cache with a user entry and temporary password. If a user entry is
       already present in the SSSD cache then the entry is updated with the temporary password.

OPTIONS

       -D,--domain DOMAIN
           Provide the name of the domain in which the user is a member of. The domain is also
           used to retrieve user information. The domain must be configured in sssd.conf. The
           DOMAIN option must be provided. Information retrieved from the domain overrides what
           is provided in the options.

       -n,--username USER
           The username of the entry to be created or modified in the cache. The USER option must
           be provided.

       -u,--uid UID
           Set the UID of the user to UID.

       -g,--gid GID
           Set the GID of the user to GID.

       -c,--gecos COMMENT
           Any text string describing the user. Often used as the field for the user's full name.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR
           Set the home directory of the user to HOME_DIR.

       -s,--shell SHELL
           Set the login shell of the user to SHELL.

       -i,--interactive
           Interactive mode for entering user information. This option will only prompt for
           information not provided in the options or retrieved from the domain.

       -p,--password-file PASS_FILE
           Specify file to read user's password from. (if not specified password is prompted for)

       -?,--help
           Display help message and exit.

NOTES

       The length of the password (or the size of file specified with -p or --password-file
       option) must be less than or equal to PASS_MAX bytes (64 bytes on systems with no
       globally-defined PASS_MAX value).
