IUserUnixProfile AddMitUser(string fullMitUserName, long uid, string name, string shell, string homeDir, long primaryGroup)
Parameters
Specify the following parameters when using this method.
| Parameter | Description |

Discussion
This method creates a UNIX profile object for a user in a trusted realm that is not tied to an Active Directory user object.
There are two versions of this method: one designed for COM-based programs that
supports a 32-bit signed number for the uid and primaryGroup arguments and one
designed for .NET-based programs that allows a 64-bit signed number for the
arguments.
Exceptions
AddMitUser may throw one of the following exceptions:
-
ApplicationExceptionif you try to add a Kerberos user to an SFU zone. -
NotSupportedExceptionif the computer zone schema is not supported.
Example
The following code sample illustrates using AddMitUser in a script:
...
'Specify the zone you want to work with
set objZone = cims.GetZoneByPath("LDAP://CN=cohesion_div,
CN=zones,CN=centrify,CN=program data,DC=arcade,DC=com")
'Create the UNIX profile for the Kerberos user “lewis.cain”
set objUserUnixProfile =
objUser.AddMitUser(“lewis.cain@cohesion.org”,98566,”cainl”, “/bin/csh”,
“home/cainl”, 98556)
'Enable the UNIX profile for the new user and update AD
objUserUnixProfile.UnixEnabled = True
objUserUnixProfile.commit
...
