DESCRIPTION

For this to work, the home server must be configured with the 'registration_shared_secret' option set. This accepts the user credentials like the username, password, is user an admin or not and registers the user onto the homeserver database. Also, a YAML file containing the shared secret can be provided. If not, the shared secret can be provided via the command line. By default it assumes the home server URL to be https://localhost:8448. This can be changed via the server_url command line option.
